turn that frown upside down

Why does misery love company?
I don't know about you, but I do not like being miserable. At all.The less time I'm pissed off, sad, or blah, the better.
Are we really that pessimistic that we would rather hear about pains in the asses or backs, than what made us giggle or get butterflies?
I read a blog named My Big Fat Blog. the woman was borderline suicidal because she had put weight on over the years. she hates how she looks and isn't pleased that her husband works out and eats right and has not gained weight over the years. some supporter wrote in, saying that hubby is really the enemy. What the hell kind of support is that? I find wallowing in self-pity an extreme downer. and an extra pat on the back to stay down, is just as bad. empathy is an important characteristic to have as a friend, indeed. but come on!

I got this in one of those chain emails...
distraught thoughts:
If you keep saying you're always broke, guess what? You'll always be broke.
If you keep saying you can't trust soul, you will always find someone in your life to betray you.
If you keep saying you can't find a job, you will remain unemployed.
If you keep saying you can't find someone to love or believe in you, your very thoughts will attract more experiences to confirm your beliefs,
Turn your thoughts and conversations around to be more poseitive and power packed with faith, hope, love and action.
Don't be afraid to believe that you can have what you want and deserve.
Watch your thoughts...they become words.
Watch your words...they become actions.
Watch your actions...they become habits.
Watch your habits...they become your character.
Watch your character...for it becomes your destiny.

don't stay sad. and don't let your big fat blog friends stay sad, either...
