Nowadays I am usually optimistic, but occasionally a bit of pessimism creeps in and I need to give myself a kick. Finding the best in every day is a good way of doing it :)Nikki - A Mother in Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10278171772063256779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489933208033658779.post-59127341627900485362011-11-02T04:23:34.279-07:002011-11-02T04:23:34.279-07:00Couldn't agree with you more, it's like wh...Couldn't agree with you more, it's like whether you look on the glass as being half full or half empty. A few years ago we went through some really hard times and I, who am a natural pessimist, made a conscious decision to become a half full person. It was quite difficult at first but now looking on the bright side seems to be pretty automatic and I take huge enjoyment from the small things in life, like the changing colours and having a reasonably comprehensible conversation with my neighbour who has an almost impenetrable accent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489933208033658779.post-57910197793383558322011-11-01T17:18:35.928-07:002011-11-01T17:18:35.928-07:00Ooo inspiring, I can surely write about something ...Ooo inspiring, I can surely write about something happy that happened on each day, it will serve as a great memory as well, like a diary!<br /><br />Cute children btw!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10752796695515255465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489933208033658779.post-19401212152939460492011-11-01T15:50:58.594-07:002011-11-01T15:50:58.594-07:00Thanks for that Fiona, what a great idea - I'm...Thanks for that Fiona, what a great idea - I'm going to try this with my children tomorrow.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing Kirsty - it's lovely when the little ones come out with gems like that.

Happiness and contentment is something that occupies me a lot too. Earlier this year I did a 'three beautiful things' mini blog where I listed three great moments from each day. It was really valuable for helping me see the positives when I was having hard days with two kids under 3. <br /><br />Today we went to the Botanic Garden and saw some beautiful autumn leaves. My now-three-year-old told me "Mummy, I feel really happy" - what could be better than that?Kirstyhttp://www.imperfectpages.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489933208033658779.post-32506901426309831602011-11-01T14:19:05.021-07:002011-11-01T14:19:05.021-07:00Whenever we are on holiday (and sometimes when we ...Whenever we are on holiday (and sometimes when we are not) we get together at bedtime and we talk about the highlights of our day.... it's always fascinating what the kids come up with - usually something you've hardly noticed. It's a great thing to do and really makes you focus on the positive. What a lovely start to NaBloPoMo Nikki ;-) FionaFiona @nlpmumhttp://www.nlpmum.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489933208033658779.post-65365767269696361642011-11-01T13:57:26.204-07:002011-11-01T13:57:26.204-07:00Yes that's a good one Debbie.
