"Positive Thoughts"

Today was kind of a long day... work was a little slow and sometimes my mind wanders during the day when it's not completely occupied with projects at work.  I can't say I had a "bad" day, but it was just kind of "blah".  I began to worry about our little baby, hoping that she is growing well and being safe as she develops. 

 

I ran to the grocery store to grab a few things after work and saw 6 people standing outside the front doors - each of them was holding a bright pink sign and I thought "Great.  This is going to be awkward to just walk past as they try to sell me something.  Too bad I can tell they aren't Girl Scouts with cookies."

 

As I got closer, I noticed they weren't selling anything.  They looked like college students, probably working on a school project.  The guy closest to where I was walking held a box with a bunch of little pieces of paper folded up in it.  His sign said "Take a positive thought!"  As I walked past, he asked me if I wanted a "positive thought" to take with me.  I reached into his box, grabbed a thought, and smiled. 

 

The next person was holding a sign that said "Free Hugs".  Although I didn't take advantage of the free hug offer, I had a hard time wiping the smile off my face as I realized I had been wrong - I didn't have to dodge any salesman as I walked into the store - I had an excuse to sincerely smile and read a "positive thought" to boost my day. 

 

Thanks "positive thought" guy.  

 

This was not the thought I picked from the box, but a pinterest find that I should blow up and put in our apartment!

 

With my reminder to make sure I have positive thoughts today (and to not over-worry about things), I'll keep President Hinckley's thought in mind!
