  1. An old song says "Accentuate the positive. Eliminate the negative." Looks like a good way to do things. Finding the positive things in life that come your way and emphasizing them. Another song says "Count your blessings instead of sheep and your will fall asleep, Counting Your Blessings." Great positive post.
