Turning No Into Yes I Can
Repeat Yes I Can
When your day starts out on the wrong foot and you want to go back to bed
Yes I can enjoy my day and find many great pleasures along the way
Bills are piling up faster than the money is coming in and the situation looks scarey
Yes I can find a way to make ends meet
Friends that you talk to are not supportive of all your efforts
Yes I can succeed
Your boss expects more and you are at your limit
Yes I can do better
When your wife or husband finds something to complain about
Yes I can make them happy
As you move and body aches and your eyes are tired
Yes I can feel good again
I am taking struggling and turning into wanting
I am taking fear and turning into sheer determination
Life doesn't change over night
One step closer to where I want to be is fine with me
Feeling good about doing my personal best
Trying when other people give up
Loving living in the moment no matter what it may be
Because it is a new experience to me
Seeing the bright side when the dark clouds are hanging over
Looking at all my accomplishments and slowly adding to the list
I am who I am today because I made it through that rocky road
Now Rocky Road happens to be one of my icecream favorites
That I eat up now and again like all the things I have seen and done
I have found the need to do what is right not because someone tells me so
Just because I know deep down in my soul
Life is far from over when I don't have the answer
I just have to find a clue and continue
Making my life not a pain in the neck but my favorite book I can read over and over again
Like picking out dessert on the menu
There is not one choice but many and in time maybe I can say with great enthusiasm and pride
I have tried them all

AUTHORAeriel_ALN I am so glad you did.I have missed you.I am to blame.I get lost like a little boy at the Zoo.So little time and so many animals to still see.I find life so challanging it knocks me for a loop.I always try to remember the people that mean the most to me.But I was never good at drawing the line.Who to include or who to leave out.I just want to include everyone for one reason or another.I have been helped all my life time and time again.Even now as we speak you are helping me form words and thoughts and new ideas.If it wasn't for wonderful people like you I would be talking to myself again.Have one of many more beautiful mornings still to come.Thanx.

Dim Flaxenwick I think it is time to put one of my newest ideas into action.You have to put one penny in a jar every time you say a negative thing about your life.You can find a big jar and put it in your kitchen and write in Big letters WIMP FUND. This is where you put a penny in everytime you say something that doesn't help your life in any way.You have chosen to WIMP out and try to escape because you think this way is easier.It is not. Never ever ever a good way to live your life..Other people have accepted it for too too too long.You are so much better than that.It slows you down and confuses things.Now that we have that covered it is time to move on and write all your fears and troubles down.Clear your head of all the things that bother you from time to time.Write ,write and write some more.You can put all those thoughts to good use and turn them into great stories.But back at the ranch the real you will give all you have every day and find something that makes you happy.If it is wrong and aggrivates you write about it.Then when that writing is done so is that thought.But if I catch you talking about how this and that bad happened then a penny goes in the jar.Lets pretend every penny is really a hundred dollar bill.How would that money change your life?Well that is how your thoughts affect your life good or bad.Bad and sad thoughts take you away from your wealth and health and affect others too.Do I here a clank.I thought I heard you curse today?Are you sure you are not complaining right now?Have fun and if anything else it makes you think.When there is one negative thought there is at least two thoughts better than that.You can do it.I am counting on you.Talk soon.
O Dream On. You crack me up. Thank you for being there for me. I´m such a wimp sometimes.

Movie Master You know how to pick out my favorite line too.I must admit it is so much fun to have someone say I like this.Thanx for making my writings enjoyable.Dim Flaxenwick I don't believe it for a second.How can a good attitude be hard.Isn't that an oximoron.A double negative.Just wrong that's all.Living life being sad is wrong.When all we have to do is look around us and see everything that excites us to know end!!!!When things bring you down and I know it does happen.Think of a more pleasant thought.Even just a slight improvement will do.Think for a second how bad can this really be?I have thought this feeling before and all things turned out great.Now think a little bit happier thought than that.Then one better thought than that.So on and so on.
Then when you are going out to lunch because you wanted to treat yourself for a job well done.I am here to pick up the bill.Just send it to me.Care of... Happiness Is In The Mind All The Time.
As always you amaze me with your positive attitude. I am really trying to adopt the same attitude, but I find it hard.
This was awesome . You are a gem.
Hi Dream on, my favourite line is 'I am who I am today because I made it through that rocky road' thank you for sharing this I know I will refer to it over and over, brilliant and voting up.
