Staying Positive?

1. Start each day with a grateful heart.
2. Focus on the positive aspects of every person you encounter.
3. End each day with a grateful heart.

Dear Readers,
    I've been going to a band camp this week which can be at times a bit torturous. It's like a trillion degrees outside and people don't like marching so much after an hour or two. As a result, people have been grumpy and hateful and have, in general, treated each other like shit. Staying positive is hard as shit in these conditions, but the end of the day feels so much better when you do. I'll be the first to admit that I falter sometimes, but for the most part I try to keep my cool (not a pun on the heat, promise) and stay calm when talking to people. And you know what? It really is a lot easier to make it to the end of the day. So, put on a smile on your face and be nice to you neighbor. It'll be over a lot sooner.
