Accentuate the Positive! Eliminate the Negative!

Take Time to Smell the Roses Every Day!

There are terrible things that happen in this world. I will not ignore those pieces of reality. But, neither will I allow the negative, the tragedies, the abominations to dominate my life or attention. I refuse to be controlled by fear or intimidation or the anger of others. Instead, I will choose to emphasize the good, the beautiful, the praise-worthy. I will celebrate the worthy achievements of my friends, my family, and even those whose viewpoints are in direct opposition to my own. "Let there be peace on Earth," as the old song goes, "and let it begin with me!"
