I've had this discussion a few times with people about how our own personal outlook really can affect our whole demeanor, outlook and daily attitude.
If you think it's a bad day, it's gonna be a bad day but you can really switch it by changing your outlook. Smile at someone and say 'hello', most times you'll get a smile back. If it's pouring rain outside and you don't want to get wet but want to do something productive then find something to do around the house or pick up a hobby. Sometimes just doing something quiet too gives us time to reflect on all of our blessings.
All to often I'll catch myself hiding out in the house and being very anti-social and think...I really need to be out amongst people. Doesn't necessarily mean hanging out with someone but just going to the mall, taking the dog for a walk or picking up the phone and talking to a friend. Making that connection with the outside world really helps.
Package up the negative, store it away. Think of all the good and positive in your life or some funny things that have happened and it's guaranteed to put a smile on your face, lighten your mood and change the outcome of your day.
Life is what we make it - Smile (they're free too).

I totally agree with this one...
"keep on the sunny side always on the sunny side keep on the sunny side of life...."

I agree with Jenny too Pen Pen. Thinking positive makes all the difference, it is just hard to remember when you are feeling down.
Glad to hear you had a fun weekend with the girls.
