"I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else." Winston Churchill
This particularly rings true this weekend. We had an almost stolen bike off our front porch. We live in a downtown area, lots of foot traffic and a bus stop two houses down. We have had a dog that barks for the past 4 years so no one has attempted to steal anything off the front porch and we got a little used to that. Well Saturday morning they tried and apparently me waking up early to work out thwarted the robbery, so they left it standing with the door open. I looked at it as, well they bikes should have been locked up and they obviously needed it more than us. My hubby not so much. It really made his blood boil. To give him credit it was his bike. This isn't the first theft from the porch, 6 years ago I had my lawn mower stolen. People would rather steal than work for something. It is sad, but I am not going to let their lack of morals effect my attitude. They are sucky people who have a sucky life. We at least can afford a new mower, bike etc. We have a good life, a roof over our heads, cars that work, a loving marriage, awesome pets, and a baby on the way. Life is good. I choose to see the glass half full. It makes me happy to see the glass half full. It is not worth my time or energy to get angry and see the glass as half empty. I choose happiness. What would you choose?
