It appeared on black buttons, and I thought it was so funny that I purchased one to wear on my lapel. Bad idea. Very bad idea. It really lowered my mood; in fact, I had to unpin it and throw it away. I purchased a pink lapel button that said "Think pink!" What a difference--I felt so much happier and brighter--it put a smile on my mood.

My Mother always sent me off to school with "Come back with your shield, or on it!" (Strange indeed, you bet). But along those lines, I try to call upon my Scottish clan heritage to gain strength, fortitude and determination. And if that doesn't work, I recall any of my favorite authors who worked day jobs and had other personal responsibilities but who forged ahead, nonetheless. Two favorites? Louisa May Alcott and Anthony Trollope. Good company, at least!Lisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13315265091119634416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4498845843905507548.post-73678743583956036432010-04-26T06:46:13.927-04:002010-04-26T06:46:13.927-04:00Fantastic post, Anne!

I agree that it's not enough to just "shut out the negative." You have to replace the negative thoughts with something...and they might as well be positive thoughts, right?? :)<br />I love your mantras, especially the Peter Pan one...I might have to borrow it :)AvonLadyJerricahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14611705826419158520noreply@blogger.com
