So, the snow had melted, the water was almost all gone from the streets and we were all lulled into thinking spring had sprung - until we woke up this morning! It was snowing! But it is April 15th! Isn't this the month we get "April showers" to bring us "May flowers"?? As I look out my window, it is still snowing and there is a layer of snow on the ground. As I look at the world outside my window - all white and clean - it is hard to remain upset at the snow. Everything is nice and clean. The garbage that collected over the winter and has become visible over the past couple weeks is now covered again. The streets, not yet swept by the city street-sweepers, are clean again. I think I will that rather than curse the snow, I will just let myself enjoy the white, clean world around me. Loving the snow, knowing it's only temporary and that hot weather is just around the corner . . . it's a good thing!
Sometimes the world can be a downer! With instant images of tragedies and disasters – natural and man-made – assaulting us at rapid speed, it feels like we are surrounded by negativity. I strive to make my blog a positive and happy place to visit – a place to get away from the bad stuff that is happening. My goal from June 1, 2010 to May 31, 2011 was to find one positive thing each week day to write about for one year.
That was the birth of my blog – one year of “good things” as seen “Through Rose Coloured Glasses”. Sometimes I had to dig deep to find happiness on a gloomy day. Some days were not happy, but I was always able to find a positive to talk about. Sometimes, I had to fit writing my blog into the end of a very busy day or the early morning prior to a busy day. Other times I had such good days I had to pick and choose which one good thing I should write about. Somehow I managed to do it, and I think I proved that you can “fool” yourself into being happy just by pretending you are. The year flew by. I will continue to write in my blog, but not every day. I hope that together we can continue to watch the world through rose coloured glasses. - Rose
