I've been called a PollyAnna when I go for the positive. Dated myself, didn't I, with that PollyAnna reference. Go ahead and refer to me that way. But the above is truth.
It's all about choice. You can choose to gripe about the rain and mud puddles, or you can be thrilled with the wonderful clean, moist scent of the earth and the fact that the garden is getting watered and it's not cutting into your water bill! Why choose the dark and gloomy route? I do understand that some people are prone to negativity. You CAN make a choice about your attitude and outlook.
It's the simple things in life that mean the most, people and memories. We tend to make things too complicated and place money and material objects in the seat of importance. Wrong. Simple. The warm, snuggly baby on your lap that just melts into you and is full of love. The knowledge that someone is on your side unconditionally. The daily waking up. The scent of the damp earth in the rain.
Life is simple and precious, look for the good and appreciate it.
Yes....this is a semi pep talk for those times I get frustrated with people and down. We all need to rise above it.
