Attitude-- a small thing that makes a BIG difference!

A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly.  You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.  ~Roald Dahl

I definitely believe our outlook on things/life at the end of the day makes a huge difference!! I've definitely realized that if you don't like something, CHANGE IT... if you can't change it, change your attitude. Oh, how true this is! It is so important to realize that when we surround ourselves with kind, caring, and happy individuals-- that tends to bring out the best in us. I remember being in high school and my mother complaining about my grumpy attitude and I never seemed to "get it" back then... but I totally get it now. When I was having a bad attitude or in a bad mood it definitely had a negative effect on the whole house. That goes the same for life-- when you have a negative attitude that has a negative impact on so much. Sometimes we are the only smile a person gets, so it is so important to make sure that we let our light shine. Nobody is perfect and I am FAR from-- so, i'm definitely not claiming to be... there will be days where we are just grumpy and have a bad attitude. However, I think we need to remember the impact we have on others and even ourselves when we have positive energy, thoughts, and a good attitude!
