Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference -Winston Churchill

I've realized one of the reasons I love spending time with animals is the fact that they usually have pretty good "attitudes" Their interaction is generally consistent and not based on emotions. They are always happy to see me, maybe that's because there is usually food involved? ;) Can you tell I spend most of my time with bovines? But I can think of human examples too...those people that are always great to be around, those that exude a "joy" and grace that contradicts the negativity that commonly oozes from our culture.

Attitude truly is a little thing that makes a big difference. Despite the emotions I am feeling or the type of day I'm having, I  can make a conscious choice to stop inwardly sulking and have a gracious and positive attitude. Not only do I end up feeling better, but so do those around me. It's not easy to have a good attitude in some circumstances, but it's so worth the effort...so I'll keep trying! :)
