It's how you look at it!

    Some people think of the negative side of things. But change your perspective and think about it. Take roses for instance! You could be sad because roses have thorns OR you could celebrate because thorns have roses!
    Have you ever heard of Pollyanna? It's a book written by Eleanor H. Porter in 1913. It is a beautiful novel with a wonderful message. Pollyanna plays a game that is called the "Glad Game". To see a silver lining in every cloud! In the book, she started playing this game with her father. She had been begging for a doll for a present. Instead, she got crutches and she was upset. Her father told her about the "Glad Game". She could be sad that she got crutches instead of a doll, or she could be glad because she's not using the crutches.
    So let's all play the "Glad Game" and if not for Pollyanna, do it at least for ourselves! Think about being glad and not being so depressed.
