It turns out that attitude is everything. Sometimes I call it perspective. I think it really does involve the introspection that brings about perspective, but attitude can get you there, too.
So, here are some stories that kicked me in the butt -- it's all about the attitude.
I love this story about a man who suffered a seriously debilitating accident -- and now leads his job's cross fit team. It is the perfect story to kick off the attitude matters NRU!
For a while now I have been worried that we are destined to labor under the GOP/Fox news black cloud forever ... generations of Americans lost in the cynicism and hate spewed by these lovely resources. No where seemed more demonstrative of this than the South. Yet there were glimmers of hope -- remember that group of undocumented students who outed themselves in Georgia a while back? Well, the New York Times thinks this is a mini movement of liberals learning to exercise their voices via demonstrations. I have a complicated relationship to demonstrations, but I wholeheartedly support these folks finding their voice!
This is a lovely piece about a living tribute to a man who has touched many lives/writers. Read it, and the role of attitude will become apparent.
For fun, I am including this piece on dark chocolate. For years, I have been telling folks that I am not eating chocolate but fighting cancer. Turns out I was actually lowering my blood pressure. I think my dark chocolate intake is going to have to increase now that I know about this benefit! I think some cocoa in my smoothies will become a new standard.
