For several years my perception of my life was pretty miserable. I don't remember what sent me whining down a cynical pessimistic road, but I got lost on it. Then while my husband was channel surfing one night, I heard my sig line on a public tv program with Dr. Wayne Dyer. We both got caught up in it.
I think it was in the 2nd year of my daughter's active addiction, that I remembered the quote. Between my therapist, meetings and here, I realized my way of thinking wasn't helping anyone, so I decided to flip it over.
