Hello Readers!
Those of you who have followed my newsletter for awhile know that I cannot go into this season without acknowledging the amazing gifts we have been given. The cartoon says it so well. Thanksgiving, as one day out of 365, seems inadequate for fully appreciating and reveling in our remarkable lives.

We are thinking about our mortgage payments, the argument with our spouse or kid, or what we'll make for dinner, instead of noticing the woodpeckers up in the trees as we walk to our car or the rainbow which appears in the sky like magic.

THE POSITIVE POWER OF NEGATIVE THINKING
This article seemed at the surface to be so counter-intuitive I dismissed it and didn't read more than a few words. When I finally delved into it I got a lot out of it, and realized that although I am instinctively a positive person I do employ some of what they put forward here as successful ways of thinking.
