Positively Jazzed about Oranges and Sunshine, Lemons and Rain

September 13, 2007 by Liz 9 Comments

About Lemons and Rain

I’m on my way to Southern California — oranges and sunshine — hard not be positively jazzed about that. It could be lemons and rain. Then I’d be . . . positively jazzed about that too.

They say, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Huh? There’s a whole lot to like about lemons just the way they are.

Lemons are bright as sunlight. They’re supporting actors of the food line. They add that fine touch that makes the menu come alive. Like a positive person, a lemon makes things better. No need to wish we didn’t have them. Lemons could well be the most positive fruit on the planet.

Let’s talk about silver linings . . . Who needs find a silver lining when it’s raining pennies from heaven? Rain makes a colorful sky and a garden palette that could get any artist drooling. Rain isn’t sadness. It’s the way we think about it that gets us all in a funk.

I’m positively jazzed about positive thinking day. Thank you Kirsten for positively thinking of it. Every positive thought I have makes me positive that we can make things happen in a positive way. Why not?

Celebrate and help us raise money to cure spinal cord injury!

Can you see things positively and build on that?

Are you positive?

Are you positively, positive?

Are you positively, positive like a hot fudge sundae with whipped cream and a cherry with a naked lady sitting on top?

C’mon, you don’t need a plane. We can all make sunshine.

Today I’m celebrating official Blogtipping Day. How about you? As the song goes “Give a little bit . . .” Here’s how it works.

  • Choose three bloggers you admire and link to them.
  • List three reasons why you admire each one.
  • Then add a tip at the end.

That’s all there is to it.

Phil Gerbyshak

  • When it comes to positivity, Phil, you are the REAL THING. No question.
  • On and off your blog, Make It Great! you take genuine pleasure in the success of others. You’re not shy about saying so.
  • I’ve read your entire blog. Your ideas are compelling. You write well and with passion. You are one in a million.

Tip: Keep some of that energy just for Phil. Don’t ever forget that folks who know you are with for the long haul.

Dr. Kirsten Harrell, Psy. D.

  • The Think Positive Blog is popping with energy. I feel it as soon as I click in there.
  • Kirsten, you are the same way. It comes through in every blog post you write and in all of your ipopin affirmations.
  • You’ve brought a bundle of positive insights to discussions throughout the blogosphere. I always look forward to your comments when you visit here.

Tip: You have so much to offer. My only tip is that we want more.

Troy Worman

  • Anyone who’s been to Orbit Now knows that it’s a positively amazing place. It’s always changing in a way that makes me look forward to going there for a fresh new outlook. I find myself re-reading nuggets of wisdom, just to stay a little longer.
  • Troy, you have a positive world view that is creative, clever, and contagious. And interwoven through that is a quite dose of compassion.
  • You and your blog are a category of one. It’s a category worth keeping.

Tip: I think your “I want to be your mentor idea” is fabulous. Please ask for help if you need to find people to sign up.

Thanks to all three of you for bringing positivity to the blogosphere. I’m smiling just to think of the contribution you make.

–Me “Liz” Strauss
