Bubbling

Once in a while life sends us unanticipated bonuses

Like meeting someone special

Bumping into someone we have not seen in a long time

Finding good news about something

And in all these cases we bubble with pleasure

And how long does this feeling last

An hour, a day, longer

We might say it depends on other factors

Like being tired, overworked, busy and so on

Should it?

Does it?

Or do we allow it to disappear

Just letting other events overtake the good news

Allowing bad to swallow the good bubbling feeling

So bad trumps good?

Why cannot good trump bad?

Is this necessarily so

Or do we just surrender

Letting the bubbling disappear under the inevitable march of misery

Hold on we have choices

Maybe if we let the bad go the bubbling could last longer

In fact it can if we do not take all bad or misery inputs so seriously

Our basic orientation is involved here

Are you basically pessimistic or positive?

This is not pre-ordained

We have options and they affect how bubbling touches us

It can last a long time

Switch to positive for life it's a cooler way to experience things

Being positive is a choice, make it yours
