If we are always looking for the negative in life we will always be in a bad mood and experience very little joy. But if we choose to look at the positive, if we look for things to be thankful for, our outlook and mood will reflect it. I see it myself, if I have a day where I allow myself to be overwhelmed, my mood is less happy, my demeanor is less loving, my communication tends to be short and abrupt. But if I have a day where I force myself to look on the positive of things and to look at the big picture and not let the circumstances of the day get to me, I have a much better, fulfilling day and my communication is better. Consistently staying in communication with God naturally brings about a better day, He will help you with directing your thoughts. Your outlook determines your day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe people who succeed aren\u2019t the ones who avoid failure; they\u2019re the ones who learn how to respond to failure with optimism.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChange your thinking, change your life.\u201d -Ernest Holmes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPositive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.\u201d -Zig Ziglar<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dad Joke of the Day:<\/strong><br>They told me I\u2019d never be good at poetry because I\u2019m dyslexic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But so far I\u2019ve made 3 jugs and a vase and they\u2019re lovely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have a great Friday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good Morning!
