Being careful how we talk to ourselves

My mother often told me that I should be careful about how I allowed my mind to wander, and that I should be always aware of how I am talking to myself.  She emphasized that I can give myself and everyone around me the positive or the negative spin on my circumstances.
 I know she was right, and that I have the option to either see my circumstances as good and helpful opportunities, or as annoying obstacles over which I must haul my old tired victimized frame.
Today, Nancy Wilson has a really good post on just this topic...right here.

As my van passed your van on the road the other day I made a mental note to check in on your blog..... and what I read was a really positive story. You ran 20 miles to your absolute physical limit - that is astonishing. Bravo to going as far as you can go!

I am really intrigued about the exerterator hypothesis. Does it blow fuses or need spark plug replacements?

Holly,
I was thinking of you... Tuesday I had coffee at the Thompsons where you are so much admired!
I am hatching a plan for a dinner here, do you do adult meals?
I expect that Jason and Dan could work out some amazing drawings and working models of exerterators, if we just put them together and inspired them.
