Southern Oregon Living: Me and My Attitude!

Me and My Attitude!

Me and My Attitude!Me and My Attitude!  There's something really cool about hanging out with your attitude... especially when your attitude is your best buddy.  Me and my attitude are pals.  We go everywhere together.  Sometimes we're up and sometimes we're down, but we always know we can rely on one another for support.

For the most part, we're pretty upbeat and enjoy one another's company.  When either of us get out of line, one gives the other a good swift kick in the butt.  And when we're on top of our game, we high five each other and celebrate over a double fudge chocolate cheesecake and a hot mocha (which makes us both happy).

Sometimes, my attitude needs a little adjustment.  When that happens, we're usually reminded that a smile and a soft spoken word can really make a difference.  Change your attitude and you change your circumstance... that's what we like to think.  Fortunately, me and my attitude agree on most things.  

There's no love-hate relationship between us.  Me and my attitude play nicely in the sandbox of life together.  We're truly the best of friends, committed colleagues, bosom buddies and kindred spirits.  Here's to kickin it with me and my attitude... may the sun rise up to greet us and the wind be upon our backs!

A positive attitude can make all of the difference in how your day goes. The tough part is maintaining this throughout the day no matter what happens.

Melinda,

Thats a lot of attitude ; ) Better watch out they may think you a schizophrenic.

Really having a good attitude is very important in any endeavor. Also I love that part of the country, great area.

Melinda ~ I have to say that you certainly have the right attitude!  And sometimes keeping the attitude in check can be difficult.

Melinda-I have a book entitled your attitude determines your altitude and I would say that is so true. Attitude is everything. Have a great evening.

Melinda- attitude plays such an important role in how we views things and how we are viewed.  If you take it with you, make sure it's in a good mood.

Attitude - I have been told that if we smile even if we do not feel like it, our mood will improve. I have tried it and it works. It is hard to have a bad attitude with a smile on your face. :)

Melinda - you know what they say, "Attitude is everything!" I subscribe to the philosophy that it's not what life hands you, it's how you respond to it. We can live in the problem or get into the solution - I try to get into the solution as quick as possible, but sometime have a little pity party for myself every now and then - lol!

Gayle Girl ~ Sometimes I feel like T-I-G-G-E-R... with all my bouncyness!

Kristine (KS) ~ Sounds like we've both had a few 'at bats' in our lives... sometimes it's a base hit, sometimes it's a homer out of the park.  But, we never throw in the towel =)

Robert ~ A fellow kindred spirit I hear... glad you stopped by.  Hope to see more of you!

Attitude is everything.  And you definitely have a handle on yours.  It's not often I'm down, but when I am, like you, I'm able to get my attitude back on track.

Melinda, you nailed it with this one! I was going to hit suggest but it's gray, so I'm assuming it's been featured. It's a wonderful post with great thoughts and beliefs. I love the photo too!

You're a lady with a GREAT attitude who anyone would enjoy doing business with.

I am wishing you all the best today and always!

Attitude, of course, determines altitude.

 

 

Or was that amplitude?

Chris Ann ~ resiliency and flexibility are key components to keeping our attitude in check :)

Patricia ~ As always my dear, you lift my spirit and put a smile on my face ;)

Jim ~ Ahhh, I like that word... Amplitude!
