Be Positive Day: DOn’t wait for March 1st: start today!
Photos by Mary MacIntyre
This email caught my eye. So I let it be a starting point for this blog.
Perspectives can change the way we experience our world. One interviewer recently said that humans are odd because we seem to wear velcro for negativity, and don’t much pay attention to all the positivie around us. I wish I coud also remember the John Lennon about how to open our imagination and see the world new again, but you could go to ksfr.org and look up Monday’s podcast by Diego Mulligan to hear the whole interview.
The email: Dear Mary,
I hope that 2008 is treating you well so far …
Or that YOU are treating 2008 well so far!
I want to introduce you to a fellow from my neck
of the woods named Harold Cameron. He’s big into
positivity. Please take a look at his blog and read
a few of his posts. Good stuff!

Harold wants to institute in a VERY big way what
he calls the “Be Positive Do Something Positive
Day”.
> http://bepositiveday.com/default.aspx
Now, usually I’m not one to get into things like
this. In this case, though, I’d like to help
Harold. He’s not doing this as some sort of
publicity stunt, nor is he selling anything
to promote it. As far as I know, he isn’t asking
for a darned thing.
I discovered Harold because he reviewed a few
books I publish on his web site. When I told
him about my affiliate program and that he should
participate in it, he stated that he merely
informs people about what is good and isn’t really
looking to make money from it.
While I disagree with that point of view, I am
compelled to respect him for it. Far too often,
I see people promoting this and that - from
books to wristbands - with the facade of
doing good, but with the ogre of profit-
mongering lurking beneath.
As far as I can tell, not so with Harold.
If this appeals to you, please contact Harold
and ask him what you can do to make the
Be Positive Day a reality.
If anything else, you’ll find yourself a little
more upbeat if you visit Harold’s web site. And
there is always the chance that that can grow
into something more.
Please let me know if I can be of service to you.
Until next time, I wish you and yours the
BEST of EVERYTHING.
Have fun… Tony M.

The gray picture above is a great way to talk about seeing and experiecing differently. At first I was intrigued by the fence. Then the closeup and abstraction of the fence. Then I transported to being a kid looking through the crack to see what was beyond. By Mary MacIntyre.
Today the sun stayed up longer. The shadows were softer. The afternoon waited b efore night chill descended. I enjoyed the light reflecting, bouncing : perhaps light dances? I stopped to notice. I am glad: spring is almost here! I entered my kitchen happy and hungry.
A quote on Christmas eve from a friend, “Why get upset about this, you’re (we’re) alive aren’t we?
Since we could live to be 89 years old, and discover we were going to die tomorrow, suddenly life would be too short, even if we were ready to go. Hence, my title don’t wait for BE POSITIVE DAY, find your bliss right now today. There’s really no excuse we choose which feelings to amplify. I used to tell my clients go ahead be depressed. Take 15 minutes a day and dedicate it to being depressed. Just don’t hurt yourself. See how long you can do it. After the shocked expressions about what I said, I confessed: I tried it. After 10 minutes I was bored and went off to do something else. Some tried it and became aware, that they could choose a response to those feelings. So don’t think about being HAPPY OK?
Be positive today, even if for 10 minutes. See how it feels. Then if you are warmed up, try 100 gratitudes and appreciations. For each good thing that happens, thank God.
If you get any satisifaction: repeat for at least 10 days.
