Cheers For The Optimists

Lets give the optimists in this world a big round of applause!

Have you noticed that there is something really wonderful about optimists. They're fun to be around, aren't they? No matter how bad their situation, optimists can always find something to enjoy - usually simple things like the taste of a good cup of coffee, the smell of the air on a fine spring day, the sound of a wind chime tinkling in the breeze.

These positive people know that our experience in life is largely determined by where we choose to focus our attention and how we choose to respond to what happens to us.

Optimists understand that happiness is not so much a matter of what we have and what's going on around us, as it is a choice we make.

The wonders and beauty of life are all around you, right now, right where you are. All that is required is for you to be attentive and open to them and make a conscious choice to see and hear and experience them.

So I ask you, do you choose to be happy today? It is up to you.

Excellent post Richard and Beth! I would rather go thru life smiling and getting along with people. There are a few out there that just want to be jerks and rain on your parade. Those I tell (nicely of course) to go pound sand and go on my merrily way:)

I try very hard to stay positive and happy and when I feel down I go to a happy place and try to restore or restart to get on track
