I was encouraged to participate in this special holiday by my Queen, Mimi, who discovered it here. I think it's a wonderful idea, and the perfect prelude to kicking off the August Happiness Challenge, which begins here on This Gal's blog for the third year in a row tomorrow.So I'm "accentuating the positive"
by reminding msyelf
how I start each and every day.
For my morning routine really is all good.

First, I pet a cat. One of my trio is always in bed beside me. I don't know how they work out amongst themselves whose turn it is, but they do. It's wonderful to wake up and stroke the soft fur of a little soul who loves me no matter what, and to remember that I did a good thing by saving his/her life, since all three of cats are shelter rescues. I am rewarded by that "good thing" I did with this acceptance and affection each and every morning.
Then I take a shower. The whole world always looks better when viewed from under freshly shampooed hair. And there's my shower radio. I always have it turned to the oldies station and I love to sing along. I am amazed by how I can't remember where I left my keys last night, but I have such happy, detailed memories of where I was the first time I heard, "Ain't No Woman Like the One I Got" by the Four Tops. (An after school/before dinner run to Jack in the Box with Joanne from down the block.)

Oh man, now I have to think of something POSITIVE when I am all about the MEH today. /sigh/ Okay, I will do it since I have to steal everything from you, this included.
ReplyDelete(PS: Cookie wouldn't make a good vampire. He's way too 'earthy' looking with that yummy arm porn to be all ethereal and whatnot. Robert Patterson (pattison?) is pretty much what I would imagine a vampire could/should be.)
Of course I had to swipe this. I'm all in for the August Challenge, too.

Thanks for participating. I read a post where someone listed clean water as what they were positive for. It made me think - really, there is so many things that we could list. And a shower and freshly washed hair do make me feel better too.
ReplyDeleteI am going to add you to the linky on my blog, OK?
Be blessed!
starting the day by petting a cat is fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteI'm here from Jen's linky.
ReplyDeletePetting my cat is one of the first things I do in the morning too.
Happy Positive Day!
Nothing better than a fresh clean shower. Happy Positive Day, 2009. Aloha :)
