Positive & Negative

People life sucks! OK now that that’s out of the way, accept it and move on. Not every negative can be turned into a positive. But a lot of them can, it may take creativity. I’ll point out some of my negatives and try to put a positive spin on them.

Negative: I’m short.
Positive: I can squeeze through a crowd easily. People often feel bad for me and let me stand in front of them so I can see. People think it’s cute to be short, I’ll take the extra cuteness factor. My favorite positive is, I can wear heels and not worry about “am I too tall”.

Negative: I have some stretch marks. I hate them, REALLY hate them.
Positive: But they are the result of my fabulous children, and that is a major positive.

Negative: I have thick thighs, hips, and butt.
Positive: I have thick thighs, hips, and butt. It’s nice to know people watch you walk across a room. It’s funny to know you’ve almost caused a traffic accident or two. And if the world ends in 2012 I’ll live longer than some of you bean poles, I have some extra fat stored up so it’ll take longer for me to starve.

Negative: I’m crazy.
Positive: I’m never dull.

Negative: I’m super opinionated.
Positive: I always can carry on a conversation. I can talk about something other than my hair or juice boxes.

Negative: I had colorectal cancer.
Positive: I’ve faced my biggest fear at 31. My self-importance has increased. And the biggest positive of all I’m ALIVE!

As you can tell I know that I’m not perfect. I’m seriously messed up. But it’s all about what you do with that knowledge. You can either wallow in misery or revel in the fun of insanity. I prefer to embrace the insanity.
