That's very easy to forget, but it's true for many things, even for a would-be writer receiving rejection letters (aka, me) :)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14121018905141253640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978947499777787671.post-39493256248052520672010-09-15T09:34:03.524-04:002010-09-15T09:34:03.524-04:00Love this!

I agree attitude is everything. It's hard to have a good one when I have less than nice clients who don't want to listen, but I do try. I also recognize with some hard things in life, there will be days when the attitude is not always good because the underlying issue and feelings are hard things to accept, like the death of my sister. But that's okay as long as most days my attitude is upbeat about life.Natalie Aguirrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756087804171246660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978947499777787671.post-64619658887250881652010-09-14T23:46:06.073-04:002010-09-14T23:46:06.073-04:00Whenever I encounter someone like that I try to be...Whenever I encounter someone like that I try to be grateful that I am not them. Which doesn't necessarily make it any easier to deal with the Princess Unpleasants of this world but gratitude always improves attitude.<br /><br />ps for a second I thought it was you going to chemo!
