I picked up my Chihuahua this morning, and she was so cute that I started singing to her. Immediately, my two Corgis came running into the room, looking to be petted. How interesting!

I’m still reading the book Positivity by Barbara Frederickson. It’s been very enlightening! Here are some ideas she has about changing your negative spiral to a positive, uplifting one:

Everyone knows that challenges in life help you grow, everyone seems to be in agreement with that. However, it occurs to me that happy and good things in your life also help you grow. They strengthen you, and allow you to share joy and good fortune with others. Think about how you feel when something wonderful happens: watching your child in a school play, celebrating reaching a goal that is very important to you, standing on a mountain, watching the sunrise over the peak, shining into the valley below. Those moments filled you with joy, with fulfillment and energy.
