A great reminder we have a choice whether or not to accept the negative – and also to spread the positive. Fab post. Have a wonderful week! x

In reply to Tracy Burton.

Thanks Tracy – he sounds like a special person. I’ve found, once you make the effort to be kinder, grateful and more positive, over time it comes naturally (although there is always the odd slip. We are only human 🙂 ) I think the world needs more kindness, especially at the moment. Yes, try the journal – if nothing else, it’s a great excuse for buying another notebook!

What an inspiring and thought-provoking post, Sam. One of my most-hated phrases is ‘I couldn’t find fault …’ as if the speaker must look for and rule out the negatives in any situation before they will even consider the positives. A dear friend died suddenly six weeks ago. He was the kind of person who lit up a room and was sweet, funny and kind. His legacy is that his friends – myself included – are trying much harder to nicer people and that includes focusing on the positives and all the things we have to be thankful for … which, let’s face it, are many. I love the idea of the gratitude journal too … might start that one myself.
