Look on the positive side

I wanted soup again tonight but I just made soup last night - I didn’t think the family would want soup 2 nights in a row… but hubby requested tomato basil tonight!!! #winning

I had chili tonight myself !

Doesn’t seem like quite the weather for soup or chili!

It’s rainy and damp so despite the humidity it was good - and tomorrows highs will be in the 50s before it warms back up into the 70s this weekend here.

Ok, statement retracted sounds like the perfect day for chili! My brain is just fried from the 95f today

This weather is baloney and bananas! It’s days before Memorial Day. Positive thing is an extra day off.

It was almost 90 here today and humid. Its freaking May. So not looking forward to July

It was 95 here… hoping that’s not predicting what the summer will be like! On the positive side - I think it was even too hot for the huge flying thing (hornet, maybe?) that likes to hang out by our front door to come out.

Mid 60’s and rainy. Would have been a good day to have a nap!

We had a hornets nest last year that disappeared close to winter. I really hope it stays gone.

I think I’m too negative some times... It’s of course ok to be upset about things, but I don’t want to always get stuck in that mindset & ruminate over how things suck.

I know this isn't the purpose of the thread, but I think its impossible to NOT be or think negatively about how things have turned out, especially if youve taken it upon yourself to learn why and how its happened. Having an extremely natural reaction to it all is not "being too negative" its being normal.

All this just to say do not use any of that to criticize or police yourself. Its perfectly okay to react to things with disdain.

But yes, it is always still good practice to highlight the good things in order to keep optimism alive; a storm rolled through tonight and left the clearest, brightest, strongest set of rainbows Ive seen in a long long-time they were as if you could have walked on then

I fell asleep with the bedroom window open, so I woke up in the middle of the night when the blackbirds started singing again and I had trouble falling back asleep, because the usual 3 am thoughts started haunting my brain.

But at least it was the birds that woke me up and not something unpleasant.

I had to get up at 5:30 to make it to work for 7:30, but on the walk to the office, I saw two Canada geese and their goslings!

At least today is Friday, and a three day weekend approaches!

I love seeing the geese with their goslings. I had to stop on my way home yesterday afternoon so a gaggle could cross the road.
