Positively speaking

Obviously, because I haven't been going to work, I've had a lot more time on my hands. I mean, 24/7 is a lot of time!
And I've been spending a great deal of that time thinking about my life, our life, and where we should be going, what I want to be doing. What I am doing is realising that I'm not where I thought I was going to be.
It's not a bad place - I have a great many friends, and some family, and I have a job that I enjoy. I have a husband who is also my best friend, and I have 2 cats who have decided that we're not too bad to live with.
So don't think this is another whingeing blog, because it isn't. Really. It's just a place to start, I guess.
A favourite author of mine has said that you have to think positive; to be successful, you need to think yourself there. So I've been trying to do this. The person I want to be wouldn't do that, so I won't do it now and I will be the person I want to be. If that makes sense.
And talking with Paul the other day, it suddenly fell into place. I realised how very pessimistic we've become, always looking on the dark side. "Hope for the best but be ready for the worst" sounds great, but in reality doesn't that mean that we're always actually anticipating that it's going to be the worst?
So. Knowing that I thought the worst was going to happen just a few short weeks ago, and obviously it didn't (otherwise, how freaky would this blog be?) means that I'm feeling more open to the good things.
I've decided that I'm going to think positively. I've started writing again (and am loving it) and I'm thinking only positive thoughts about it. And it really seems to be flowing. My health seems to be improving in leaps and bounds, because again I'm thinking positively about it.
I go on holiday in May - I am sooooooo looking forward to the break! - and I am positive I shall be very much lighter, much fitter and certainly have a more toned body.
I am being positive that you all will understand where I'm coming from and try this for yourselves. After all, if I can do it so can you. Be positive, act positively and you will feel it.
Let me know how you get on.
