If there is one thing I hate, it is when people are in grouchy bad moods for no reason. 
Example, Robby insists on watching the news on Fox every morning. He watches Bill O'Reily, Fox and Friends and Glen Beck religiously. I have no problem with any of that except that when you spend most of your time doing that, you are going to come away from the TV angry because of all the BAD news you hear about going on in the world. There is never any uplifting news that they report on. Yes, the economy sucks right now and things are pretty tight all over, but is just sitting there listening to that day in and day out really going to change anything. Listen for an hour, then get up and turn your day into a positive day filled with upbeat and happy events, even if they are just the mundane tasks of everyday survival. Sure it is easy to sit there and wallow in how awful things are, but if you focus on the important things in life, then you will see that money and government spending, is not really what you need to let life get you down.

Grouchiness is contagious and even the happiest, most free spirited person can fall prey to it if it is not kept in check. Wouldn't you rather be known as the person who walks into a room and lifts every one's spirits just by your smile, than the person who walks into a room and brings everyone down with your bitter, cynical outlook on things. Guarantee if you try to be that upbeat person, you will find that life isn't really all that bad when you look through at least on rose colored glass lens, if not both. I am not saying there aren't problems in this world that need major help to change or that this a perfect world and you can live in bliss if you just deny reality. What I am saying is that we have a choice to make the most and best of every moment, hour, day, week or year, or we can say it is all going to hell and what is the point?
So with that, I want to share a few images that I think my lift the spirits of even the most grouchy negative person out there. Have a beautiful day and try your best to turn it around so that you see the positives and dwell on those. Peace,
Debbie
