Giving up Negativity up for Lent

Every year for Lent I give up a material thing and a personal thing. This year it's chips and Negativity. For the people that know me best, know that giving up chips is not easy for me. Especially since it's my study staple. However, I'm holding strong and I have even been to Mexican restaurants in the last few weeks and have had a few exams. Yes, I am patting myself on the back as I type. Ha ha
However, this grand idea of giving up Negativity has been a real test. I am a pretty positive person for the most part but being positive ALL the time is a hard task to take upon. I am not going to go into it right now because that would be me being negative and I only need to hold out for a little longer. Then I will spill the beans on what I have learned during this time of sacrifice. I will say this though...It is getting harder and harder to find a reason to smile these days so when you do find a reason, no matter how trivial it may seem, just take advantage of the moment and smile! Because you never know, you might just make someone else's day by doing such a "trivial" thing as smiling ; )
