How we look at circumstances??

We all have a choice of how we look at circumstances. No two persons prospective are completely the same. I heard a saying that went sort of like this.

~ Change is continuous, you can fight it or embrace it, but change will happen. Just as the seasons change, it is inevitable. ~

so, like, when you're in your 40s and suddenly on your own, is your life Half Over, or Just Beginning?

Well, Larry, I believe this depends on "the" person... Some may think their life is "half over," & some may think that their life is "just beginning." ;)

With everything that I have experienced in my life, I am said to say it has made me a bit negative. I don't want to be that negative person anymore.

Even with this divorce I must open my eyes and admit that good will come out of it and I will appreciate in the future.

Didn't someone say "one door closes and another one open?" Well, my was a slam in the face but I must muster on and find the key to open my next door.

It has can only get better, right?

The only constant in life is change. So true. If we're not changing, we're dead.

Looking at something negative or looking at something positive are both choices you choose to make.

Why would you choose the negative?

Why would you choose the positive?

Being positive gives us hope and strength. Besides I rather be surrounded by positive people and not negative.

Don't get me wrong, perky people drives me nuts.

This is truely what "surrender" is all about.

Makes me think of the saying, either you're a "glass is half full" type of person or a "glass is half empty" type person.

Sure, I have the occasional downs, but I absolutely like to think of myself at the "glass is half full" type of guy.

Well said, life is about choices. I choose to move forward with my life and enjoy each and every day. Thanks for posting that. Beth

I believe all things happen for a reason...the problem is when bad things happen not knowing why it happened and what good will come from it and when the good will prevail the bad. Another lesson of Let Go and Let God

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
