Alllllllllll aboard!!!!!!!!

Ok. Here is the scoop. If you want to have a super day, you have to be happy.....be positive.....be receptive to plans changing, schedules being whacked out, things being turned upside down! You have to truly want this super day! It is all in the ATTITUDE! 

I was at the teacher store (Becker's) today and I saw a classroom poster that said, "Attitude is contagious! Is YOURS with catching?" I stood there smiling, thinking to myself, "Well I certainly hope so!" It really got my mind spinning....I've been saying for a long long time now that the difference between a good day and a crappy day is all in your attitude. If you allow negative things to completely ruin your mindset, then you deserve the rotten day you will have. You are in control of your thoughts, you are the conductor of the thought train!!! Do you want to pull into the station at the end of the day smiling, happy with how the ride went or would you prefer the train-wreck? I know for me, I am always enjoying the ride. But others I know.....well, I really think they enjoy the train-wrecks.

I have to wonder why people choose misery when there is so much to be happy and thankful for. As I look back over the past few years of my life, I realize I was one of those people. If there was negativity to be found, I found it. Now, I can hardly stand to even admit that. I wallowed in self pity, surrounded myself with miserable people so that I wouldn't seem so sad, and could not find the happy in anything. My goodness that seems like forever ago! When I think about it, I almost feel sorry for myself. Sheesh. I am so glad those days are GONE!

It may seem easier said than done, and I guess it really is, but folks......be happy! Find the happiness in each and every aspect of your lives. In any article written about being happy, living thankfully, being a more positive person, the advice is always to keep a thankful journal! Ladies and gentlemen, this is what I do and have been doing since October 4, 2011. I have not missed a night of professing my gratitude to my Facebook friends since that night almost 2 years ago. And this has made all the difference.....

I choose to enjoy the ride.....including all the pit stops and detours.....each and every day. I've been on the train-wreck and believe me, it isn't fun. I'm still having trouble understanding why anyone would choose that route. I've hopped off that ride that is destined for disaster and have opted for always choosing my ticket for the happiness express! Wanna join me? Get on board today!!!!!
