Day 98, 4/8/2013 - Eat, had leftovers for both lunch and dinner today. Anyone who knows me knows that I rarely eat the leftovers before they spoil in the refrigerator. Pray, today I pray that I never take for granted my past relationships whether they be an ex spouse, friends from an old workplace or friends that I have lost contact with. I realized that I often get bogged down in the negative when a relationship goes away for whatever the reason. Joy, I resolve to take joy from every relationship that I have. Even when I got divorced or moved on to another workplace, I experienced JOY in the old even if it didn't work out or I moved on for numerous reasons. I will consider the amount of joy I experience from here on not the negative. Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative just like the old song! Yes, I realize that I cannot eliminate the negative but I can certainly spend less time and energy on it. The broken sun catcher is a bit of a negative, but my "take away" from it before I dispose of the broken pieces is the JOY that I gained from my friend, Diane who gave it to me when we were close friends.
