Yesterday, a wonderful person said that I was one of the most positive people she had ever met. Naturally, I looked around to see to whom she referred, because I certainly didn't think it was me. But, lo and behold, it was.
Wow!
See, that's not who everybody else knows me as being. A year ago I was probably the most negative person in the city of Memphis. I didn't want to be, that's not my personality, but over the years I think we all get beat down by life and the bad stuff just sort of seeps in, like minerals seeping into bones until finally they become fossils. Until Kathy and I started this new adventure, I honestly did not know how to crawl out of the vortex of negativity that was sucking me down like a giant whirlpool.
But not anymore. That's not to say I don't still have those moments of snarkiness and downright pettiness, I do, but now I catch myself and try to correct the behavior, now I'm aware. And, frankly, now I'm happy.
So, to that wonderful lady who said this to me yesterday, bless you. We aren't always aware of how we come across to others, so to know that I now am a vessel for positivity is truly motivating for me. Everything the company promised they have delivered, and more. Thank God my wife said 'yes' to all of this.
