The last time I posted here at Mama Writers I blogged about taking the higher road and some of the negative things in life one has to ignore/deal with/fight about/whatever. And I realized that I might’ve sounded a little negative myself. A little whiney. A little poor-me. You get the point. I was having a bad day. In the wise lyrics of Daniel Powter, I needed to sing a sad song just to turn it around.

 

Anyhoo, I’m all better now and I want to get back to the more optimistic aspects of life because they’re overlooked way too often:

 

A husband and four sons who always give me that much needed hug, make me laugh, or laugh at my jokes. You know it’s love when someone understands your sense of humor…and still likes it.

 

Friends who cheer me along when something amazing happens and rant with me when something not-so-great happens.

 

A mother with whom I can have an in-depth conversation about The Bachelor. There’s nothing like reality TV to bond a family together.

 

A sister who buys multiple copies of my books and supports me in anything I do. And all my other family members who support me as well.

 

Teachers who go above and beyond to make sure my children get the best education possible. They’re heroes to be cherished.

 

The strangers I see in the store who smile for no reason, or who are just all-around polite people.

 

The driver who stays a safe distance behind my car when I’m driving in the snow, or the one who’s smart enough not to try to use his/her cell phone.

 

I’m sure I’m forgetting so, so many people who make my life easier and happier. But believe me when I say that I appreciate you!

 

So tell me who’s made a positive impact in your life lately?
