The Perilous Journey

If you think about it, movies and books are filled with adventures like the ones I have experienced, a perilous journey of which you encounter who knows what that takes you far from the reality of what you know. Think about Wizard of Oz, a story that involves such a journey. Dorothy survives with the help of three friends who thought that they didn't have everything that society valued. However, in the end these friends really did have their own version of it and there was such value there. Doesn't that sound familiar?

We have journeys in life. It is those journeys that teach us what is important. It is those journeys that lead us back to home, family, and our relationships - what is truly important. I am blessed to have experienced such a journey. That is the positive thought for today.

I'm Positive About 2010

The past week I have thought a lot about negativity - how it can surround us, consume us, overtake us, and ultimately destroy us if we let it. This negativity can originate from our own negative thoughts within ourselves and/or amongst the negativity of some people we may know and associate with. I have a lot of things I would like to work on this year, but they all seem to fall within this area - the need to surround myself with more positive. Positive radiating from myself and the others I choose to have in my life. This is not only for myself, but for my children - they need more positive in their lives too since our world can be overly critical. So I am on the lookout for positive people to discuss and sharing positive thoughts - this doesn't mean that I won't complain (eliminating that may be difficulty depending upon the circumstances). But I am going to be more positive in 2010. Won't you join me?
