Pollyanna is back!
For those of you who may be too young, Pollyanna is a children's book about an orphan who survived her ordeals by playing the Glad Game - finding something to be glad about in every situation. Note: this is not the same as finding good in everything!
I secretly played Pollyanna's Glad Game growing up and I know this attitude helped me get through some tough times. I had long forgotten about the Glad Game until yesterday. Reading the "Thankfulness Diary" requirement of the new Challenge brought it back to mind.
Hey people - Life is unfair - People are mean - Bad things happen. So how are we going to deal with it? By becoming bitter and negative? Throwing ourselves a pity party? Stuffy our mouths full of junk food?
We may not have the power to change the world but we do have the power to change ourselves.
Today I am thankful for having read Pollyanna. May the child in us never die.

Love it Buffy!! I don't know if you saw the video of a song I posted on 26 July - it really uplifted me - the words of the song and the actual video are fab, also reminded me that I never want to lose the child in me :)

I never read Pollyanna. But I do know that we most often cannot change other people or events....we can only change our own reaction to them. May have to check out those books!

I agree !!!!! Life's not fair, people are mean, but don't waste your time and energy feeling sorry for yourself, we have more important things to do :)
