The power of positivity

Let's talk about positivity, and its power.

I am convinced that, when you think positive, you will 'gain' positivity as well. 

It might sound a bit watery, a bit 'away from earth', but I think that it is true.
People who think negative, seem always get their portion of negativity. 

Oh, I hope I won't miss the train, works like... I can try, but I will be too late. You will not make a serious attempt to get the train, and even if you try it, you will not run fast enough to get it. And you will be confirmed.. See?  I knew it...  I always have bad luck.
Oh, I have to run fast, then I have chance to get the train, works like, if it not works, at least I tried, and... tadammm, WHEN it works, you have the feeling that you did something good. You made it!

Maybe you can think about examples from your own life. When you feel not good, you can lay in bed all day, think and worry about what you not have.
You can as well  put yourself together, hey, you won't feel less headache, but at least you did do what you can, instead of laying in bed all the time..

I personally think that this kind of mindful thinking can go very far. I know that it is a kind of hype, at the moment, the new psychology, but that are things that not work for me. I look what happens, I try things out, and when it is good, I keep them.
That is... if I have enough power. When I have negative moods, it is not working, of course!  And after such moments, I realize that I have missed a chance.  So,  you can guess what I will try next time.  I keep on trying, how about you?

Season greetings?

Long time I thought about this, and then I decided to post it here, and not at the Facebook platform.  Too many people there, who might be offended.  Here (hardly) anyone reaad, even when I put a link at Facebook (what I will do :-D ). 

Typical, and maybe that is exactly where it is about, even when I want to talk about greeting cards.

It is the most wonderful time of the year, all the sudden we feel the urge to greet each other, wish each other wonderful days and so more.
I remember the time, that we decorated the wall with post cards, from friends and family, what was, for me, always a very nice tradition.
Not sure how it is at your place, but here it definitely changed.   Many people send an email, or, today, a message over Messenger or Whatsapp.  So you can greet 100 people with one click!
But, is more really better?

I see people writing, that they do not send christmas cards this year,  and instead donate to a good purpose.
I love it, when people donate (merry christmas), and it is a good thing to do, for sure.  One click for the good purpose, one click for 100 friends...
Such messages make me wonder.  Do we understand what we are doing?
With christmas, especially then, a lot of people are emotional very open. Memories to  the youth, (good) times,  wishing peace, wishing light, who does not need that (even when you live downunder, lol).

So.... my dear friends...  Here is the idea...  Why not do both?  Send your friends a snail card, AND donate?
When you can not afford both, maybe you can find some space in the christmas pressies, it is not so that the most expensive thing are the most valueable. And select the friends that you really want to send a card, and, eventually, send the rest an e card?
And, for .... sake...  please do NOT rant at the social media, that you donate for a good purpose.  You not need a pat at the back, for spending money for something good.
Send that ....cking  card to your friends.  And take their smile as the biggest reward that you can get.
