Don’t stop looking at things positively.

Looking at things positively and insisting everything is fine are not the same activity. The first keeps a window open. The second nails it shut and paints over the glass.

On a bad week the open window is narrow, and that is allowed. It might be nothing more than a willingness to notice one thing that went right: the bus that came, the colleague who covered for you without being asked.

Noticing costs almost nothing and it keeps the channel from closing. That is all it has to do.
