Sit back, relax. Remember those that have left us. Reminisce. Cry of you feel like it. Smile at your memories. Be yourself.

Optimism

Optimism is not a word that we use very often these days. We also seldom hear someone else use it. What we do hear is the word "positive" when referring to our own attitude or how someone else acts.

I decided to do a Google search for the word "optimism" when I thought about bringing you this video done by  Michael Fox. Of course I got a lot of sites talking about search engine optimization but very few talking about the human trait of being optimistic. Interesting how things change over the years and how our thinking has changed. 

The definitions that I found: 1. to make as perfect or effective as possible. 2. to make the most of. (My choice is #2.)


What is your definition of "to be optimistic"? Come up with your own definition and then decide if your definition fits you.

Make A Difference

We can make a difference in someones life and our own by looking beyond that which we do not like. Why not try it?

Having Fun With Life

From The Fun Theory Website (also found on YouTube)

The Fun Theory site "is dedicated to the thought that something as simple as fun is the easiest way to change people’s behavior for the better. Be it for yourself, for the environment, or for something entirely different, the only thing that matters is that it’s change for the better.

Why not try to put just a little bit of fun into your life, no matter what is going on or what you are doing?

~~ Samuel Johnson

"What we think, we become. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world." ~~ The Buddha

Yes you can! Believe in your vision. Believe in your goals. Believe in your plan. More than anything else, believe in yourself. From Jonathan Lockwood Huie of

"Christmas is both a sacred religious holiday and a worldwide cultural and commercial phenomenon. For two millenniums, people around the world have been observing it with traditions and practices that are both religious and secular in nature. Christians celebrate Christmas Day as the anniversary of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, a spiritual leader whose teachings form the basis of their religion. Popular customs include exchanging gifts, decorating Christmas trees, attending church, sharing meals with family and friends and, of course, waiting for Santa Claus to arrive. December 25–Christmas Day–has been a federal holiday in the United States since 1870." Source: http://www.history.com/content/christmas
