Beautiful and so wise. I am taping this to my wall! Thank you! I've always tended to be too negative and very insecure since I was a child because pessimism was rampant as I grew up and I have to fight against it all the time. THANK YOU.

I'm late to the garden party! Thank you for blogging with us, Kennedy, this post is perfect. There's a quote that I have taped to the daily divider in my dateplanner - "Begin each day as if it were on purpose." - Mary Anne Radmacher. It reminds me to take control of my thoughts, attitude, heart, whatever else needs a kick in the tush, and make the day what it can be.

Kennedy, I love, love, love this post (one "love" just couldn't cut how I feel about this). It's not pontificating, nor moralizing--it's just real, and as good advice for the rest of our relationships as it is for those in the writing community. Thanks so much for sharing this.

Kennedy, I so needed to read this post this morning. I sometimes fight the blues, although I do try to practice your philosophy as well. It's good to hear I shouldn't berate myself for the blues, but should shake them off, put on my big girl panties, as Jenny Hansen says, and go back to being positive.

Positive people draw positivity, and exercising the positive heart helps it grow stronger. Thanks for the lovely post.

A beautiful and inspirational column, especially for a writer such as myself who is making slow progress and yet can enjoy the success of others along the way.

It's nice to know I'm not the only writer who is not a gardner! But even better than that was to read your insightful tips. I think if all grownups followed your tips and taught them to little ones, there would be much more positivity in our world. I've been fortunate to keep connecting with other writers with attitudes similar to yours and it's been one of the most unexpected and rewarding aspects of being a writer. Thanks for the tips!
