Turn the negative
We are all guilty of it The negative Lately, I’ve been uber guilty of it, can we say ‘uber’ anymore in that context? So today on the morning walk, I thought about some of my negatives from yesterday Those I could remember And how could I have ‘turned’ those? I also complimented myself on those …
