Think Positive!

I spent well over an hour on a blog post basically ranting about what's been going on here in Vancouver, not only the riots but during the playoffs as well.

It was a really blunt and negative post that I wanted to get it off my chest. But then I thought, "what good can come of this?" Nothing. Negativity gets you nowhere even if it temporarily makes you feel better and you feel like you are righting a wrong.

SO instead I'm just going to send out positive vibes to everyone reading this. Whatever you're up to today, hope it goes well and that you have a fabulous weekend ahead of you!

I hear the postal strike will be over early next week, that's good news right? Right?

Love the positivity...what a great post.

I was thinking about you (and another friend of mine who lives in Van)...and wondering how you guys survived that night.

I remember the G20 riots here in toronto, and how crazy it felt to see the city i loved turn into a warzone that I didnt even recognize....Glad youre ok. :)

I agree with you completely about negativity vs. positivity. Positivity is so much more productive. I need to remember that at work (especially). Teachers love to bitch and moan all the time. My work spouse and I are trying to stop doing it so often.

I've been thinking about you during the riots. Ugh, it's horrible that a few idiots ruin it for everyone. Like PP, I remember how the G20 riots transformed my city.

Have a great weekend! :)

Thanks ladies. Interestingly enough, my other post mentioned how supportive bloggers from Toronto have been about any posts I do about Vancouver! You guys just proved it again :)

I've kind of been disconnected from anything news related on my long drive west, except for finding out the Canucks got pounded in game 7. I just found out about the riots in your city. I'm glad you're ok. Fan exuberance can be a great thing when things are good, here's hoping next year will have a better outcome (if they win OR if they lose).

Positive vibes are good. Keep sending them out!

I've done this too - started a blog post that's negative and deleted it rather than posting bad energy on my blog.
I hope the strike is over or everyone is getting post cards mailed from canada - they won't even sell us stamps or take our post cards here because of the postal strike!!

So, how's the new job? I'm positive it's going great, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
