I've become WAY too focussed on the negative recently - mostly because a lot of it has attempted to take over my life and force me to Deal. Today I got sick of it. Yet again what I tried wasn't working and I was heading into one very quick, very disastrous spiral.
But you know what? Life's to short to count your curses. So for the rest of the day I'm ignoring them. They haven't gone away, but they're not going to get my attention.
So - what's good about today? Sunshine. Warm outside. Spotted a funny sign and a pair of yellow-billed kites while walking out some frustration. I still know how to make the best pizza in town (currently rising in the car - the perfect, warm, draught-free place for yeasty things to expand). I have a heart that can feel, can care, can love - and does, often to bursting point. I have people who care for me too. I have one car that works (the other is merely a rising vessel for yeasty things), and she's shiny too! :-) I have an imagination that produces all sorts of interesting plans, daydreams and fantasies, and my rather strange sense of humour hasn't left me yet. I still have my blue eyes, and I don't need to go spend money on highlights - the increasing greys are taking care of that. :-) I've got clothes to wear, a bed to sleep in, a pretty super place to live, and two dogs that think I'm awesome. My leg is finally starting to heal up. I have a working computer and bandwidth left to indulge my online addictions. I have sunshine on my bed this afternoon, and in my eyes right now. I have a friggin' Land Rover!!! (hell, that's something BIG, and one I've aspired to for years) I have nearly a kilo of dark chili chocolate nearby, should I desire some. I've met another neighbour today.
Plenty to be happy about, so I'm going to go do just that.
