I Run From Negativity

I run from negativity She laughs and chases me I jump on a skateboard, and dash out of sight She will not relent I hear her in my ear You are such a klutz! You will probably fall off this skateboard! A car might hit you. I take a corner too hard and down I go Wham! Negativity is delighted, thinking she has won. Positivity picks me up, and dusts me off. We head down another ramp. Negativity's incessant giggling is getting farther away. Positivity and I high five each other at the end.

Hello Caren, yes it is best to be positive. To be negative brings a person down low. /so low wondering when will it end. Thinking there is no way out. It is better to be positive bring joy making a person feel good. Hugs

Being positive uplifts and delights your own heart too.

I run as fast as I can from negativity! I'll even say to someone, "That's such a negative attitude!" I'm a cock-eyed optimist and I'm happy being one.

I have had to learn to refocus my pain into poetry, cartooning and painting and it has helped alleviate almost all negativity from me.
