'The entire water of the sea can't sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship. Similarly, negativity of the world can't put you down unless you allow it to get inside you'

Think that struck a chord with me because I'm having to deal with some dubious characters from my past at the moment. They don't seem willing to accept that I've changed and are being fairly spiteful. I think they want a reaction. But I'm not giving them one and I'm refusing to allow their words and actions get me down. I'm sailing along quite happily on my sea of positivity....... now, if only I could find my keys

Congrats to everyone celebrating a milestone. ... 24 more for me please xxxx
Hope keys are in hand.
