Pollyanna

What a difference a good night of sleep makes! One day the world is gray and frankly a bit blue; or maybe that isn't the day it was just my attitude. It seems the bad news of the day can quickly over take your thoughts and eventually your every move. The weight of your world settles on your shoulders and you find yourself feeling a bit hopeless and out of control. Sad.

Then after a good night sleep the sun comes up and BAM! Actually in my world the sun doesn't have to even come up; we are pretty early risers at our house. Life is just plain good; what changed; the coffee is the same, the room looks the same but the day is brighter, the world a happier place to live.

In my lifetime I have lived not just one day to the next but one minute to the next. My burdens certainly are not as heavy as they once felt; if I didn't worry about my family (its a Mom thing) I wouldn't have much to worry about at all. But it is easy to get to be a negative Nelly on a cold snowy day in March. If one would remember that April doesn't usually hold negative temperature days in these parts; wait for the sunshine; count your blessing, perhaps we can all be Pollyanna's for the day.

I wish for you a day of Pollyanna!
