Do you have a positive attitude or a negative one?

I’ve always thought my self as neither being positive or negative. But recently I’ve noticed a tendency to be positive. Within the last 2 weeks. I’ve fallen out in the parking lot flat on my butt. And although I was pissed and it gave me a mad headache, I was thinking, “Thank God, he gave me a round enough butt to land without injury and that my clothes didn’t get ruined and I didn’t even get a scratch.” My husband saw me fall and thought I may have hit my head. Nope. My hands went back and touched the ground but they didn’t get scratched.

Next I twist my ankle on the only rock on a parking lot. “I got mad again but thank God for my thick ankles that can take a bit of punishment,” So no real injury and I managed not to even hit the ground this time.

Next. Long story. A/C is out and I prop a heavy wooden framed picture above the door to prevent the morning sun from coming in the door. I secured it but obviously not well enough. But I kept an eye on it whenever I went to the door. Open and closed plenty of times and it didn’t budge. Well the one time I forgot was the one time it happen to fall and it hit my head really hard.

Even while cursing up a storm this time, again. I thanked God for giving me a thick head and for having bags a ice ready to cool myself down. I put the ice on my head and what should’ve been a bump the size of my hand, is only about 2 inches round and it only hurts if I press on it.

So it got me thinking. Apparently, I must be a positive thinker since I didn’t look at the bad luck of it all. I saw a fortunate outcome. Things could’ve been way worse. Butt’s okay, ankles okay and my head just has a slight bump.
