I'm certain it is a habit that can be finely tuned with more practice. Thanks for reminding me to keep at it!kariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150537989886423212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323372985310307718.post-26347356423841067702013-11-18T19:21:40.751-08:002013-11-18T19:21:40.751-08:00"understanding it's possible to achieve n..."understanding it's possible to achieve new levels of contentment and acceptance and wonder"<br /><br />My husband and I are learning that, too.

A friend and her husband, sometimes had a 'for personal reasons' day off when teaching became stressful and called it a marital health day.<br />A win-win because it gave two substitute teachers an income also!<br />You and Walt have a good attitude - it helps to be flexible and adaptable when things can be a bit disappointing or difficult, and as you've noted there's always good things to be found!<br />Life's too short to grumble much. <br />That friend's husband died recently -I know she remembers how important it was for them to enjoy each other's company and share their memories of adventures together.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323372985310307718.post-11056464926797424012013-11-11T20:20:34.615-08:002013-11-11T20:20:34.615-08:00We always expect it to be different, reality that ...We always expect it to be different, reality that is.

So often, it's easier to find the grunge instead of the silver lining. <br /><br />Hope your year just gets better and better! Love you bunches!

It is always about attitude, isn't it? Either we can be over-critical and miserable, or we can flow with life and try to find some positive spin. Sometimes, a less than ideal situation heightens the adventure! Belated birthday wishes - have a fabulous year!Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984171407726520584noreply@blogger.com
