I wonder if people who have that reaction to the word or thought camp are predisposed to denial and so they're sensitive to not falling into the trap? It's a little true for me, so I try to name and honor whatever I'm feeling first, and then change the direction of my thought,, just little by little. I'm very neophyte-y at it, though, and I appreciated your post so much because it helped me stay close to finding my own version of what thinking positive means to me.

His face is so curiously malleable... <br /><br />I agree, there are no pat answers, and there is no way we can always choose joy, BUT... I can make more of a conscious effort to, and that is what this is about really. Also, not to snap to judgement... another habit of mine which waxes and wanes with the flow of my hormones. sigh.<br /><br />I really dug your post today. Glad we found each other.<br />Peace,<br />pfPetit fleurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626110471501778855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806280954353435517.post-12676648678713230902010-07-29T16:03:29.473-07:002010-07-29T16:03:29.473-07:00Hey Jojo,

One time I was commenting on the mental health of a driver who parked really caddy whompus next to me. I was talking to my husband and a voice from right behind us starts to chortle and says, "Sorry bout that!" I was MORT IF IED in a way, and yet, it was pretty funny! <br /><br />I feel ya... I'm just feeling the need to change my compass. I want to be able to stay present and say what needs saying in a way that it will be heard/accepted, and not let it ruin my day. Of course there are always exceptions and set backs and etc... but it's what I'm striving for.<br /><br />Did not know Al was a DH, but I'm not surprised either. He rocks!Petit fleurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626110471501778855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806280954353435517.post-23623536846957652102010-07-29T15:40:43.114-07:002010-07-29T15:40:43.114-07:00Life is a strange, mixed bag.

I don't have any pat answers, just that I believe in possibility, and that we can choose joy. Although, that is not always my choice.<br /><br />PS: Love the Al Franken.

I can't help but think of those scenes in the first part of Fried Green Tomatoes, where Kathy Bates tries to do the right things and gets shit on no matter what. When she smashes her car into those bitches' car that stole her parking space, I could relate. <br /><br />But when I'm on vacation, out of town, I'm the super friendly, happy, positive person that I wish I could be all the time. <br /><br />Have you ever studied Buddhism? I have not read this book, but Brian loves it: "The Art of Happiness" by the Dalai Lama. I just don't have the personality for Buddhism at all. lolJoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.com
