Your mood is all a state of mind.  As Henry Ford said, Whether you think you can or you think you can’t you’re right.  So, as I sit here in a bit of a funk, looking out at yet another gray, dreary day, I could just declare it a bad day and it will be.  That thought will have me dive back into bed, pull the covers over my head and do nothing.  But instead, I’m going to set my intention to have a great day, to find the greatness in all of the things around me, to be grateful for what I have and all of the wonderful people in my life and trust that all good things will come.  I’m beginning to feel better already.  Each time I notice my outlook slip a bit, I’ll redeclare my intention to have a great day, do something that restores my faith and move onward.  Oh, the mind is, indeed such a powerful force.
