Why the frack am I so positive?
As I continue evening posts on reflections of life I delve into positivity.
I have been thanked many times, in comments, Engagement, for the positivity I put forth in my blogs.
No matter how dark my day is I find a way to find something positive.
Today being Sunday and 9:17PM right now as a write I think about going back to the grind tomorrow morning for the week.
Arg, Monday. I use to think that way but now I love them. What can I get done, what kind of difference can I make in people's lives this week. That is being positive. Rather than the old way of thinking. What bull are customers going to have this week.
Now it is: How can I help solve their problems and help make them feel better. The secret is that makes me feel better.
Don't get me wrong, life is not easy at the moment. With my wife's cancer. It is always part of our day. It effects choices we make daily. Watching her, today, be tired and fatigued after having done very little. How do I stay positive?
I look forward. Her birthday coming up. Make sure the grandkids are here for that. Try and bring some joy to her life that she has left.
Not only online do I show positivity, I have to show it at home. What if I was negative and sad and pissed off over her cancer? Well I am but what if I showed that to her? If I was negative. It would do her no good. I have to be positive and do positive things.
It will help bring her some joy, some peace. I believe.
The choice to be positive even if I have to fake it at times is a choice. It is good for my mental health.
I have had people tell me I have to look after myself also to look after my wife. How true. And I believe with everything I am that being positive and putting forth positivity is looking after myself.
It keeps me content. Keeps me grounded. Gives me purpose.
So I will do my best to keep radiating positivity.
Will you?
I think you are right to keep things as light and positive as possible, to keep smiling for your wife, looking forward and doing the best.
I also fear that too much fake it till you make it leads to suppressed anger that can build pressure until it finally explodes.
There has to be an outlet.
It would be ok to take 15-20 minutes out of the day, and be a real jerk. Do some journaling and let out everything that makes you angry. Cry, punch pillows, criticize, be mad, curse etc etc etc.
It is ok to recognize that things, suck right now, but that you are positively happy that they are not always going to suck.
I send you lots of love and light, and a little bit of aaaaaaaaaaaaah.
Thank you 😊
Oh I do vent, I go by myself and I vent. 😉
But thanks for the advice.

Sorry to hear about your wife. One cannot be positive online only. You must be positive and exuding positive vibes to remain online and offline. Have a nice and productive Monday :)
Thank you for your feedback and encouragement 😊
