Writers are just people who have a whole lot on the inside that they need to get to the outside, with pen and paper as their preferred method of transport. Same with dancers, artists, and singers - all the same urges with differing transportation. ~Graycie Harmon

I am on a journey~ this is an interesting thing to come about from my need to write things out. After talking with someone who knows me pretty well, I have been encouraged to sit down and write. Not just write like I do here in my blogs~ although that is what got the idea rolling around...

Her idea was to look at things more from the obstacles that I have dealt with over the years, the range of experiences I have had, and the way I have managed to keep a positive attitude and healthy outlook in even in the face of crippling experiences.

Her idea was that if I can layout on paper how the thinking process goes that creates my rather positive attitude that I may find a way to stop attracting some of the negative people who tend to find their way into my life. Based on the law of attraction, it is reasonable to assume that there is something going on inside my head that keeps bringing these people into my life and prevents me from being able to see the caution flags before I have become enmeshed in the relationship with family, friend, or romantic interest...

Always willing to try something new when what I have been doing is not working (“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”) I am willing to try this and see if the excercise might not help me over come this habit of attracting unhealthy people to my life.

So, over the next few days or weeks, there will be a bit of that happening here on the pages of my blog as search inside and get out on the pages things that have helped me maintain a positive attitude through difficulties and see if there is some correlation in those to work on attracting more healthy relationships instead of these unhealthy ones that seem to come into my life...

One thing I know for sure, as I look at the majority of my relationships... most of them are healthy. They are often what keeps me in a cheery mood when I am on the brink of overwhelming depression. Now if I can just get over this last bit of not so healthy relationships...

There are thousands of thoughts lying within a man that he does not know till he takes up the pen and writes. ~William Makepeace Thackeray
