Staying positive does not mean you have to be happy all the time. It means even on the hard days you know better ones are coming.

To be honest I just live for the Day, I cannot and will not consider what tomorrow will be. Tomorrow we pick up the Turkey, If I was supposed to be happy all the time I would be unable to look onto the next day in any way. If I was to do that my outlook would be miserable. I would be always considering what could go wrong, I would be miserable and tentative and be considering the negative. Although I will be relieved when I get home with nothing to worry about. As God makes little green Apples something can always go wrong I will always worry. So I try and keep my moods level between high and low, Happy and sad, As mentioned above I keep my own council.

I used to be like that living in the present but now I have achievable goals for the future - like educational toys or books for my non verbal autistic son. I find many obstacles and sometimes my mood makes it worse but I finding strength this month to carry on Depression makes situation hard to deal with but I feel inspired by art this month - art therapy and other things. I agree life is very tough for me and son.

I prefer to move on if things go pear shaped, I do not like myself if I get myself into a bad mood. I am very sharp and sad to say never take any prisoners, all down to an over active tong
