A lesson
















Received some guidance today in the art of positive thinking. Not pollyannish thinking, or vapid thinking, but guided, deliberate, positive thinking. The hardest part of the exercise was coming up with positive nouns and adjectives to replace negative ones. It's quite illuminating to examine one's own vocabulary and see just how thoroughly the language shapes everything else.

I'll gladly admit: once I described things differently, it was like someone shoved a load of bricks off my shoulders. Now to make it last.
