“If you don’t like something, change it; if you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.” (Mary Engelbreit) Continuing the thought from yesterday, I’m going to make this a week of “Live Positively!” quotes. In fact, I have enough for a month, but I don’t want to disappoint the negative thinkers. ;-) Jack

FROM PR J.S. IN MI: Why are you so caught up in Either/Or s? If a person is not a positive thinker, he becomes a negative thinker. Is there any place for shades of grey in your thinking? FROM JACK: My hair is gray, and so is my mind. You know my feeling on situation ethics.
