Keeping a positive attitude is hard work. You can know all of the things to say and do, all of the advice to give to yourself, and sometimes it is still hard.
You are working on something, doing the best that you can do, it is mostly good, but there is one complaint. Why should my brain get stuck on the one complaint? Even if you know that some people are just unhappy?
I think seeing the good has to include understanding a couple of things. First of all, life isn't always going to go your way. Yes, we know that. Second is this; sometimes for reasons that you are not even sure of, you are going to feel crummy. That doesn't mean that things are crummy. It just means that you feel like things are that way.
Chin up. Bear the struggle of feeling bad for no reason. It is still a great day, and Christmas is coming whether we like it or not! It is always better to fight a bad feeling, or to live with it as a temporary visitor that is soon to leave, than to give into it and become overwhelmed by it.
There is lots of good, regardless of what we may feel about a day. Stay with it. We are all getting better at this.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
