Sunday Scribblings Post-Prompt "Change"
Change
Life isn’t always perfect, but sometimes it can be very, very good. The thing that matters most is your attitude towards what happens to you. Good things really can and do happen to people all the time, but a lot of the time people are so focused on the bad things that they don’t notice. If you never look for the good things, you’ll never see them, it’s really that simple. Getting an elevator right away, or buying popcorn that’s just come out of the popper are both good things. Having someone open a door for you is good.
I’ve always tried to look for good things and try to find the sun in my life. He’s helped me keep that focus far more easily because he’s the same way.

Those small and large bits of luck really do happen, and if you watch for them, you’ll see that they happen to you, too.
