Can you find it?

I'm always blown away with how hard we make it to find positive in the world. It's not, ladies and gentlemen. Granted, we may wake up in the morning late, with no breakfast, we don't get to work with the most ideal people, but ya know what? Who cares?! Just you. Here's the positive in that whole scenario: At least you did wake up, you HAVE food in your house and you have a job.

For me it is really REALLY hard to be a pessimist. I have tried, believe me, but my inner optimist always wins. Today was so busy at work today that my lunch got cold and my feet were killing me. However I worked with a bride and groom that really put a smile on my face. Granted they were so in love, I wanted to vomit, but that's beside the point. She had been in the day before and wanted to show her fiance the two dresses she was torn between (strike one, that's a no-no). As I was finished lacing her up into the gown, she walked out of the dressing room and her fiance lit up like a sparkler on the 4th of July. He stood up and could NOT stop smiling! She was beaming as well and then I realized I was smiling from ear to ear as well! He kept telling her how beautiful, hot, sexy, gorgeous, etc, she looked. He kept walking in circles around her, just stunned. I, for one, was blown away. I have never, in my two years of working there, seen a future groom, react that way. It was perfect, it was flawless and just the reaction she needed/was looking for.

My second positive/happy thing that caught my eye was simple and probably would have gone unnoticed to others, but I get distracted easily :) I was headed to a bridal shower this evening and as I was driving I saw and elderly couple walking with their grand kids. The grandma was holding the granddaughters hand while the grandpa was a few paces back and the grandson up a few steps. Why these scenarios bring me joy, I don't know. I could sit at a park and just people watch, most likely with a large smile on my face. My greatest memories are with my grandparents and I found it so fabulous to see this couple out walking with their grand kids! Yes, I'm old fashioned and quite traditional.
My challenge to you is to find the positive in your days. Whether it be the big or the small, it's everywhere! And most importantly, be grateful for the positive.
