Perspective

We all need a place to vent our emotions, a place to talk. When we don't have this, we live in our own heads too much and things become out of proportion. We lose our perspective.

It is so important to have positive and loving people in your life to talk to and with whom to share. In the safety of good friends we are able to release what we have been holding inside, freeing ourselves from negativity and fear.  This frees us to be more open and grow.

(Ruth Fishel, Time For Joy, 10 December, p. 344)

I Am Not Powerless

I am not powerless over my attitudes.
I am not powerless over negativity.
I am not powerless over assuming responsibility for my own ... [action or lack thereof].
I have the power to exert a positive influence on myself, my loved ones, and the world in which I live.

Negativity

Unhappiness or negativity is a disease on our planet. (Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth, p. 213)

Our society allows people to be absolutely neurotic and totally out of touch with their feelings and everyone else's feelings, and yet be very respectable. (Ntozake Shange in Black Pearls by Eric V. Copage, 5 April)

******

I've been looking forward to this day for a couple of months. For the first time in a long time I am going to attend a Bluegrass concert. Cyndi bought us two tickets for nine-hour show at Langley High School in McLean, VA. Rain and bad weather is predicted but it shouldn't make any difference since the performance will be inside.
