It's my opinion you can be a thorough-going pessimist and still come up with something that feels a bit better, such as, 'My glass might be half empty, but his is full of piss!' if you'll pardon the french. A-mum, I couldn't fit my reply into a comment-sized comment. Refer Home Page: To laugh or not to laugh. Wow, thanks Katie.

I need to steal your positive attitude because it rocks. I'm a really pessimistic person and I've been trying hard to be more positive lately and while I'm sort of getting there, it is rather difficult and sometimes I feel fake. But reading your post I see how a truly positive person comes across and wow, it does make such a difference to a life! You've definitely got your priorities straight! :) You know what?

If not, too bad, I'm leaving it there. And if so, where do I go to face mine? I wants me some of that. A-mum, did you really mean ‘immortality’? If not, too bad, I’m leaving it there.

Age is no more than a state of mind and a number, not a condition. If others saw it this way, perhaps the thought of being over 30, 40 or 50 wouldn't give them so many nightmares. I'm 50, nearly 51 and damned proud of it. I tell anyone who asks. Most days, I feel no more than a day over 25! I constantly say. I may be getting older but I refuse to grow up. The day I had to face my own <del datetime="00">im</del>mortality was the day I matured, but grow up? Never! I refuse! :wink: I keep telling you.

Isn't it amazing when you start to notice how you talk to yourself? We would never wish those thoughts onto someone we love and yet we blithely heap abuse on ourselves as though we are some worthless thing. Where does that come from? Anyway, I'm like you, most of it has gone. We *know* we are fabulous. Oh, and so does Kelley - well, in her (day)dreams. Good to see you Sue, and I love your blog name.

Changing your way of thinking is not easy to achieve without effort and persistence but the the results are so incredibly worthwhile. I think the first hurdle is believing it can be achieved. If you are used to thinking negatively you will be inclined not to believe it and to give up too easily. I was not familiar with the Law of Attraction when I made the transformation, I just doggedly plugged away at countering every little negative thought that caused my unhappiness with something more positive or something that was not putting myself down. I was my own worst critic. The way of thinking was so embedded in me that I often did not realize I was doing it so another step in the process was learning to recognize the negative thoughts, however fleeting, and stop them in their tracks. They come along very rarely now but I never let them take hold. A wonderful post which I can relate to so much.

Apart from being a biatch of course, but an awesome biatch. A-mum, apparently the kids of generation Y (e.g. my kids), when they go for a job interview, tend to interview the interviewer. You and me too, hey. How young are we? Jayne, I can't believe the stress I used to put myself under to keep it all together. These days I'm so laid back I'm almost comatose and I'm probably better off financially than I was then. And I can only assume the effects of the easy life are patently obvious in your Feral's change of lifestyle too. Kelley, I’m thinking you are fabulous too.
