Positive Posts

I’ve been writing about my past for over a year.  In a way it has been a surprise to me.  I am surprised at all of the things that I remember, although I have used my diaries to jog my memory sometimes.  I’m also surprised that I’ve been able to make my entries somewhat interesting.  Not many people read my blog, but the ones that do are faithful.  They probably know more about me than they ever wanted to know.

I think that almost all of my entries are positive.  There are probably several reasons for this.  As a whole, I am a positive person.  I try not to dwell on the negative things in my past, in the present, and in my future.  Sure, sad and bad things have happened to me.  I’ve failed at things, struggled with self-confidence, been scared, and lost loved ones by death or because of our mobile society.  I've known people who didn’t like me and weren't nice to me.  Like everyone else, my life has not been perfect.  Maybe my life is not perfect, but it sure hasn’t been bad--not by a long shot.  I’ve been blessed with a good life.  I had a loving family as kid, and I have one as an adult.  I am in good health and always have been.  I am a reasonably intelligent person and have been able to work and earn money.

So I guess I’ll continue with my positive entries and try to keep the negative ones to a minimum.
