Negativities

Somehow when a bunch of women comes together, they have endless list of "complaints" of their lives as wives, sister, working adult, mother etc all will spill out.

But does all this negativity help?

My mum has alot alot alot of negativity as well, her whole life seems to be a life of pain/torture etc. Her husband (aka my dad) is not a loving man (even though he tries, maybe not hard enough but just a tiny little bit of trying over like 50yrs is not really considered loving). Her in-laws and extended family seems to have endless arguments, accussations about her role in the family etc, some of the facts have been repeated so many times that I can almost recite and write a sob story book about it! Each time she starts a story about how person A is mean/evil to her, it doesnt end until everyone feels terrible bitter and sour about the issue or the person. Some of these events relate back over 30years ago!

What's the point?

I know it because habitual of us to behave in this way, but honestly ask yourself, does this behaviour do you any good?

Instead of dewelling on our past sorrows, why not live in today's Joy?

Look around us now, give thanks to the beautiful blue sky, abundant sunshine, laughter of a child, for us been fortunate enough to attend school, afford some bits of luxuries, giggle with a friend, play a harmless prank on someone.

LIVE Happy, make the effort to BE happy.
