So last weekend I went home to stay with my parents and discovered that my mother has a new catch phrase. She begins a lot of sentences with " imagine my good fortune that...."
Here are so examples of how it works:
"Imagine my good fortune that when my windshield broke, I was at my parent's house so that I could park in the garage"
"Imagine my good fortune that when the bee stung me, I didn't have allergic reaction."
"Imagine my good fortune that I only had to pay $200 to get my computer fixed instead of having to buy a new one"
I think you get the the point, it's the most over the top, glass half full way of looking at things. But here's the weird part, although at initial glance it seems assine, it's really not, the more you can look at things from they-don't-suck angle, the less miserable you will be.
Try it once today, just find one thing where you can say, "Imagine my good fortune that....."
You might actually find your day looking up.
