From the book "Last Night I Sang to the Monster" by Benjamin Saenz:


"I have it in my head that when we're born, God writes things down on our hearts. See, on some people's hearts he writes happy and on some people's hearts he writes sad and on some people's hearts he writes crazy and on some people's hearts he writes genius and on some people's hearts he writes angry and on some people's hearts he writes winner and on some people's hearts he writes loser."

Negative Nelly, that's me and not me. Pollyanna, that's me and not me. I am on a positive island and yet the sea around me seems like it is full of negative waters that I can't swim through. But to not take the swim is my own choice. So glad a dear person I know named Judy is in my life. She reminds me that being positive and moving forward is my choice. Also she reminds me of the fortuitous life I live. Stay focused on the positive, Pam. Focus. Focus, Focus...

I finally looked at this blog o'mine for the first time since 2013!
