Pessimistic points of view.

It's hard to stay positive these days. With the economy sucking, gas prices rising, company cut backs, employees being paid less if you don't get laid off, the higher costs of living , and not to mention if you own a home and have lost all your value plus some. I have found myself in the slump called "If only". If only gas would go down, if only my job would pay more, if only I would win the lottery, ETC. I think you get the point of my problem. I'm trying to become more positive and look at thinks that way. My life is actually very good but I choose to look down on what I want and not what I have. This is not easy because everyone seems to be in the "If only" slump. Starting tomorrow I will try to look at things in a more positive way. Thankful to still have my job, spend positive time with my wife and children, stop making excuses and just be glad for what I have and not what I wish or want to have. Life is too short to live it wanting and not seeing and appreciating what you have.
