This New Year already needs a new outlook

Penny Can't Stop Complaining

I have realized that all of the bummer news about the stock market tanking, the wars, the job loses, and the tiny little fact that I have not achieved all that I thought I would at this stage in my life has lead me to turn into a Negative Nancy. And to top it all off I have been beating myself up for complaining and thinking negatively constantly.
So to bounce back to my Positive Penny self I was reading some blogs on being positive and how to stop complaining all the time. Steve Pavlina is a used to be slacker GenXer never-do-well, turned super productive entrepreneur, author, motivational speaker, and generally upbeat rich guy. He has a blog focused on personal development that seems to be relatively free of the creepy hippy garbage that keeps me out of the self help section of bookstores. He also has articles on the top 10 reasons you should never have a religion, and reasons to never get a job. Think they are worth a read just for fun.

I have also found a site called The Happiness Project that documents every which way under the sun, moon, and stars to get happy and stay that way. Who knew you could turn your own misery into a book project.....

I am betting that many of you are sick of hearing the fear, negativity, and economic doom and gloom - Read some blogs, turn the other cheek and try to look at things with a fresh positive take.
I will if you will.....

Here on the west coast the spring flowers have just started to poke their little green bits out of the soil they are taking their shot and hoping for the best.
