Negativity

I’m not an optimistic person. Some may say I’m downright pessimistic, but I prefer to think of myself as a realist. So what if I’m always one of those worst-cast-scenarios kind of people? I always expect the worst, that way I’m either right or pleasantly surprised.

But even a grinch like me can get a wee tired of being such a downer. So I decided I needed a sunnier outlook on life. Try to see the bright side of things. Be more positive.

This morning, as I walked to my car, I kept thinking: “today will be a good day.” I was wearing new shoes and decided that, from that moment on, they would be my lucky shoes. Good things would happen whenever I’d wear them. Yes, a new and improved me. “It will be a good day.”

My good thoughts were interrupted abruptly when I kicked a large chunk of dog poo.
