Hello all,
This morning the weather report for Philadelphia is HOT! I have heard many people complaining about the heat. I have been prone to do it also (considering that the AC in one of my cars is on the fritz). But then I thought, why am i complaining? Somewhere in the world, someone is lying in an airconditioned hospital room, unable to get up. Yet hear i am standing and able to walk around freely. It truly is sunny on my side of the street.
We hear lot's of people complaining about the real estate market. It's horrible, it hasn't been this bad in many years, I am not making the money I used to, blah, blah, blah. As I was driving to the office, I passed a gentleman sleeping on the street. When I went to bed last night, my mattress was certainly more comfortable than the sidewalk that this gentleman ws sleeping on. It truly is sunny on my side of the street.
Gas prices. OMG, gas is at or about $4.00 a gallon. How can we ever afford to drive our luxury cars with the price of premium? Then I remember when I read the story about my brothers in Cuba. How some could only afford a small amount of gas and could only drive every once in awhile. Not everyday like I do. Hmmm , it is still looking sunny on Leander's side of the street.
Bottom line: You can look at the glass as half empty or half full. You still have the same amount. Why not enjoy what you have and stop complaining about what you don't have. I am very happy with all things in life. Is it perfect.......far from it. Yet, I will will continue to smile on my sunny side of the street.
Have a great day

Good point! Even though I haven't had a real estate paycheck since March and my savings is dwindling, I'm still trying to look on the bright side. It's not easy sometimes but little reminders like this help. Thanks.
Great blog. Thanks for writing, Veronica
Morning Leander,
The bright side is always easier to see, in my book anyway. Move over, Mr. L because I am on your side of the street too. LOL
Have a great day.
Leander, I like your style. You said it just right. People need to think of the good and not always see the bad.
on another note, this would be a great post for the group "Nothing but the Positive".
Danny,
Thanks. I joined the "nothing but the positive" group and dropped my post in. I look forward to corresponding with you in the future
