If you’re like me, at some point early this morning, you’ll run into a nattering nob of negativity. You might hear him on the radio, read her in the newspaper, or find him on your favorite blog. Maybe there’s someone in your home – teenage girl or boy – who spews negativity. Could be your officemate is having a bad day or week or lifetime.
Mondays can be damn hard.
You hold your whole world in your hands.
Just because they natter, doesn’t mean you have to listen.
“Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string.
Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Self-Reliance”
Happy Monday!
I struggle with self-loathing and self-deprecating constantly. This is good for me.
I officially start my vacation today! No negativity outta me
Ello there. I think I’m nattering this morning. I love my job and yet wish I were still home in bed. All cozy in my pajammies.
So few bloggers these days can be found quoting Spiro Agnew…
FuriousBall – I’m glad to be helpful. I wish those demons would leave you….
Slick – Have va-ka!
Christy – Yes, well, longing for pajamas on a Monday is fairly reasonable.
Fabbie – He said “nabobs”. The Brits call people from the United States “nattering nobs of negativity”. So there…. Just because a speech writer wrote that for Spiro, and he said it, doesn’t make it any less true.
I am not going to pay any attention to your negative attitude about my negativity.
hahah to BroLo. sorry… that was funny… tehehe
I love your positivity in the midst of my negativity!
Positive Monday note: Mocha Lattes make my world go round. yummmm
You’re right about this one. Its so hard to get away from. Even if you’ve promised yourself a positive day, someone with a terrible mood can overpower that in an instant.
((hugs)) Kick them in the shins and tell ‘em to go-way!
BroLo – It’s the habit, dude. You’ve been wearing it too much.
Kelly – Yes indeed!
Jill – Now that’s an excellent plan.
I heard one today, but I just kept talking about happy things
But I do it so well. I’ve perfected negativity to an art form and now you want me to … what?
could you drop by the blog, please.
I make it a priority to seperate myself from negativity, but it is so hard when it is coming from within….
Step away from the negativity…
The quote is beautiful.
girl! i had to turn one nut off and ask a homie to stop letting everything a certain someone says to her (her boss) send her into a tailspin. HE’S NOT THAT IMPORTANT!!!
Janet – Hurray! Happy wins again!
Heart in SF – Yes, well. I’d hate to get in the way of your art….
CEO – Thanks for the awards – You’re awesome!
Tommie – Oh me too. I think that’s why not allowing it outside is helpful. ((hug))
HRH – lol! It’s is a bit like a loaded gun, eh?
Jameil – You do inspire! The natterers natter nonsense. HA! Jameil inspired saying!
Be gone negativity! How inspirational, I loved this! Thanks.
