I have used several quotes over the past month about being positive, and I have done that because I think too many people only focus on the negative. I find that I also get caught up in the negative parts of my life, so I am trying every day to find the positive things about the day and focus on those things. I find that I have to take a few minutes every couple of hours and remind myself of the positive things in my life. I know if I do this long enough it will become second nature and I won’t have to work so hard it.
What do you think of this week’s quote by Matt Cameron?
I really loved this quote when I saw it because it is so true. When I think about the people who are hero’s to me they tend to be soldiers or cops who in the end lost their lives because they were protecting everything that I love about this country.
What do you think of this weeks quote by Joseph Campbell?
I am not sure if everyone knows what The Band is and since I recently started volunteering for them I wanted to write a post about it and introduce to what a great site it is. I have been reading the stories on Band Back Together since it was started in 2010. It is an amazing place where you can share stories from your own life of just read others stories and comment. I haven’t shared any stories from my past yet but it is something that I hope I will be able to write about and have posted over there.
I recently joined the site and I am now volunteering and helping out with the site. I have met some great people through the site and I have also learned so much. I love to read others stories and take the lessons that they have learned and apply them in my own life. It is such a safe place for people to go and write their stories because you don’t have to worry about getting rude and/or mean comments.
We all know there are things that we don’t want to share on our own blogs or that we aren’t at a point where we can share them openly. I am personally at the stage where I am not willing to share some parts of my past openly but I am going to share them over there because no one will know it is me.
If you have checked out the site yet please go and stop by because everyone needs to hear nice things and it truly does help the people who have submitted a post. Also if you would like to volunteer send an email to volunteer at bandbacktogether dot com. You don’t have to worry about a huge time commitment because you don’t have to do tons of things if you don’t have the time. Right now I spend a like 30 mins or so a day and that is all. I am hoping in time I can do more but for now 30 mins is what I have and they are happy with that.
Go check out the site and let me know what you think!
