Pollyanna gets a bad rap

Pollyanna gets a bad rap.
The world at large may snarkily label the eternal optimist “Pollyanna.” But y’know what? There’s a big difference … I might even venture to say a bi-hi-HIG difference … between
- calling the gray sky blue
and taking the time to remember that
- the rain sounds nice on the roof
- watering the plants today was already taken care of for me
- the birds look so cute splashing around
- it was hot and sticky before and now it’s not
I’m just sayin’.
We all know (you know this, right?) that what we focus on expands. You think, “I’d really love to drive a VW Bug” and suddenly they are popping up all over the highway. I mean, everywhere, right?
So I say take advantage of that principle and bring some good stuff in. What do you dig about here and now? What floats your boat?

I think this is my favorite thing I’ve read all month!
How can I get this on my blog, Col? I’m off to go insert a link to your blog, but I’d love this post in particular to be seen by my audience …

Oooh I like this practice moving your gaze concept better than changing your perception (even though that’s what it is) it feels softer . easier.. more natural

LOL – when people say I’m being “a Pollyanna” they think they’re putting me down – but I take it as the biggest compliment they can come up with.
If they only knew… Tee hee!
