Somehow, you need to cling to your optimism. Always look for the silver lining. Always look for the best in people. Try to see things through the eyes of a child. See the wonder in the simplest things. Never stop dreaming. Believe anything is possible. #OFWdiaries #whenindubai #justdoit #sundate #wearefamily #celnmike #godisgoodallthetime

I saw this the other day and thought it held some weight. A reminder sometimes...“The windshield is bigger than the rear view mirror for a reason”

Top 5 favorite light-hearted positivity sayings:

There is no angry way to say ‘bubbles.‘

Be a pineapple: stand tall, wear a crown, and be sweet on the inside.

Surround yourself with tacos 🌮, not negativity.

If you stumble, make it part of the dance.

You know it was a good day if you didn‘t hit or bite anyone. - Nathanial, age 4

I caught the sunset today that left the sky with gorgeous shades of orange, peach, and pink.

Now I'm looking forward to a quiet evening alone with Chili's take out, wrestling, and a glass of wine.

I need some Litsy Love and positive vibes my way right now. I just found out that a co-worker that I work in close proximity to has been confirmed with COVID. I just keep praying that I'll be okay, and that she has a speedy recovery.

Classic novels with added positivity.

Life in Venice
Twelve Agreeable Men
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spa
Portnoy‘s Compliment
Finnegan‘s Birthday Party

I‘d read these! 😂

#KeepLitsyPositive Day 7 I usually don‘t go on FB but this week I‘ve spent almost as much time there as I have on Litsy😳 I‘m surprised & thankful to see a lot of positive stuff in my FB feed: our friends‘ Catlympics, memes reminding us that humanity isn‘t lost, musicians (like my younger brother) performing via FB Live & my library issuing temporary cards online for people to use their digital collection. We‘ll make it through this together! 🤗💕

#keeplitsypositive This is JB, my cuddly kitty. As soon as I sit down with a book, he is right there in my lap. He gets annoyed, because I should obviously be petting him with both hands. This sweet boy has meant so much to me this year. I got him in January of 2019 as a birthday gift to myself. It was about a month after my husband died. There were many days where I would sit and hold him for hours. He has always seemed to know what I need.

#KeepLitsyPositive #Day5:Friendship

My best friend had this made for me when I stood beside her at her wedding. Countries may currently separate us but we are as close as toilet paper on a tushie.

Thank you to Litsylove for the friendships and positivity that beams into my life daily. This community shines bright ✨✨

#KeepLitsyPositive Day 4 My library is my happy place but it‘s still a mess from the Christmas holiday shuffle aka “temporarily putting stuff out of the way” and also from hitting a few book sales and not having time to find homes for all my new acquisitions. I‘m looking forward to using my time off to finally get my library back into shape! I‘ll share pics when I‘m done.

#keeplitsypositive My handsome boy, Bandit, has been helping me stay positive while stuck at home. He is the rather aloof patriarch who watches over the other pets. He is not much for cuddling, but he is always close and in the same room as me.

#keeplitsypositive This is Winston, my very photogenic guinea pig. He normally travels with me to school every week to bring a little joy to my students. I am sure he is wondering why we haven‘t made that journey this week and why everything is so quiet.

#KeepLitsyPositive #Day4:SimpleTruths

Recovery Slogans can be as annoying as running out of toilet paper but they are almost always irritatingly true. Focus on today, tomorrow will do tomorrow no matter if you fret, scream, or eat a cookie. So eat a cookie... it‘s way more fun.

#KeepLitsyPositive Day 2 A few years ago I started a #Happiness album on my phone to help me when I‘m struggling with depression. It‘s full of things that make me happy: people I love, peaceful places, my books, my cat, penguins, accomplishments, memes that make me smile, laugh, or say “that‘s me!” and other reminders of positive things. I thought I‘d share a sample of my collection 😊

#keeplitsypositive Here is my dog, Daisy, looking like she is pretty bored with social distancing. Don‘t let her fool you, though. Holding down this couch is her favorite activity.

#KeepLitsyPositive #Day3Lemons

When life fives you lemons 🍋, do NOT use them as toilet paper 🧻. It will sting.

Use lemons 🍋 to hydrate your water, your mind and body, and therefore, keep a positive attitude. And you can always squirt lemon juice in someone‘s eye if they get too close 🙅🏻‍♀️🍋 #multipurpose

#KeepLitsyPositive Day 1 Thanks for the tag @Klou 😊 Here‘s just a few of the things that make me happy: tea, bookish mugs, cats—especially my Minnie-Monster, Minerva—and, of course, penguins! Other things that make me happy: my awesome husband, my family, my job, and this wonderful community 💕 What makes you happy?

I will happily jump on board with #keeplitsypositive Here is just one little plus about being stuck in my house...I get to watch this hilarious little troublemaker, Felix. He is always getting into something, but he is so cute I can‘t be angry with him. #catsoflitsy

Be like a hippo: Just float, eat, get some sunshine, and be fabulously full of sass.

I need your help.

With everything going on we need some positivity to stay on Litsy. Help me by using #KeepLitsyPositive and post a picture of something that makes you happy or your favorite positive quote everyday for a week.

These are hard times but together we can get through them. ❤🤗

Such a great idea!!

Positivity for today: Books & Dogs 📖🐶

Remember, worrying is like praying for something that you don‘t want to happen.

Post interview selfie .
I‘m smiling because I need to stay positive ! I had two interviews this week! One on Monday for a position at the library at the YMCA and the one today was in Special Collections and Archives at the downtown location. Now I have to wait and see which or if I get one of the positions !

So life at the moment is extremely stressful. In order to combat the effect this has on my mental health I have decided to do a #PostOfPositivity every Friday to focus on the positive things that have happened during the week.

This week:

? I finally went to the library and got a library card
? I caught up on all my #LitsyLove replies with just one more to post tomorrow
? I found a little second hand bookshop and got three books for Q9.50

#SelfImprovementSept - Positivity: The practice of being positive or optimistic in attitude - a difficult task at times, but I think that focusing on positive thoughts and use of positive words can help to reshape everything, rewire thought patterns, redirect actions, rechannel energy and uplift feelings...an employable skill to work on daily.☀️

2. Sacred is anywhere I can recharge with a book & music.

Week one photo challenge!

My current favorite positive mantra... after an ankle injury last summer and a leg injury earlier this year that derailed my years-long practice of walking 3 miles per day, I‘m just happy to be able to do it again with no pain!

#bookfitnesschallenge #bfc

One of my favorite quotes happens to be really simple. I can‘t remember where I read it, but I do remember writing it on my whiteboard at work the second I did. I think it applies very nicely to #BFCr2

Yeah!! What do we want? Positivity! When do we want it? Meeeeoooowwwww!!! 🐱

Any great self help, fuck it type books you just love? Have actually helped you? #selflove #shelflove #thursday #fun #happycatishappy
