I’ve decided not to publish what I was writing about recently. My thoughts were critical of some people with poor attitudes: the pitiful, “woe is me” one in the office, the ‘friend’ who “missed the boat”, as well as some family matters I can’t understand. What I wrote was very pointed and would have been counterproductive if shared. A publisher I’ve been talking with mentioned how cathartic writing is. Honestly, I had an idea from the context but definitely needed to look up the definition. It means purifying or purging. She’s right! I got it all out and trashed it!
I built BellaMiya to be uplifting. We need a lot more positive thoughts than the judgmental kind. We can criticize all day long but that just makes for a bad day. Besides that, “research findings indicate that sense of humor is a health-protecting cognitive coping resource.” What?? I got that from something I read about Betty White – hilarious! It means laugh a lot, stay even-keeled and don’t dwell on the dark side. If I had been able to do that about 10 years ago, I might look a lot younger! Oh well, short story short: you don’t have to squeeze a stress ball, meditate, or bust knuckles.
When you go through troubles, believe God will use them for good. Romans 8:28
PS Live the way you want to be remembered, laugh every chance you get and love truly, always.
Love the picture! And yes, we have to stay positive, laugh about it, and let those kinds of people go!
