I’m only human…as far as you know.
So, I occasionally get caught up in things. One of those things seems to be posting about so many negative situations. How broke things are. How screwed up they are. And though there seems to be a lot of material to choose from…I don’t want to be that person. I think I made this pledge once before.
So, I’m going to again renew my pledge and try not to be so negative about the way things are in publishing (for example)…am going to (once again) try to take that “High Road” I keep talking about and discuss things in a more positive light. There may be the occasional “WTF” thrown in there, because (again) I’m only human (again, as far as you know), but, for the most part, I’m going to regroup and not be a doomsayer.
For example:
Yes, there are definite issues in the world of publishing and Big Business in general, but there are also the good. As much as I might have complained about the state of publishing, there are still some great works coming out. And most people, I truly feel, really do try to do their best at whatever they’re working on. As for the rest of the ill-intended and evil out there…I’m not going to stick my head in the sand and declare everything’s all right, blah x 3…I just don’t have to focus on it. I don’t want my posts to be rants portraying the negative side of life. I want my posts to be entertaining and informative. Something you’ll look forward to reading…something I’ll look forward to writing. I want my posts to be fun and reinforce the better side of life, the GOOD side. The optimistic. Because (I’m sure I’ve also said this before) there’s far more GOOD in the world than bad. If there wasn’t, we wouldn’t be, here, discussing all this in the first place. And I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t mention that there are definite metaphysical aspects to all this, too, as in…you get what you attract in life.
So…I promise to do better. To return to that “happy otter” I used to be. I think I just got caught up in all the debris we’ve been getting from all this rain….
I already have some posts pre-set to post in the next couple weeks, so bear with me if they’re still a little on the negative side, but after this month, I promise to keep a brighter attitude. Maybe it’s just in my head and hasn’t really come out in to my posts…but I’ve felt the slightly negative focus.
Time for a change!
My apologies and thank you for reading!
