I saw a bracelet that said, “When nothing goes right, go left.” It stuck with me. I liked the reminder that we have options in life and we don’t have to resign ourselves to misery.

I made me think of some of the statements I use that could be similarly modified to allow for a more positive outcome.  I love being able to dwell in positivity.  Plus, I love the mental exercise of flipping statements that would otherwise stay mired in their negativity (it is akin to – turn a frown upside down).  I can’t promise that what I offer will be earth-shattering…I don’t really do earth-shattering.  But I hope that in the re-spin of some of my praises you will find a way to re-spin some of yours. 😉

When the sh*t hits the fan – turn off the fan.

I’m toast – pass the jelly. 

I am going down in flames – hey call that cute firefighter!

I got my panties all in a bunch – but I have been meaning to try out thong underwear anyway.

It has been one mistake after another – good thing I have a magic eraser.

I am literally freezing my a** off – yippee…this North Dakota diet is working!

We are going to hell in a hand-basket – let’s look on Pinterest for ways to decorate our basket so we can be the most admired arrival and then lets suggest a redesign of hell  to improve its feng shui.

I am so mad that I could just scream – but I will laugh maniacally instead so I can wear that nice white jacket with the buckles again.

Things are going south – I’m going north.

Why me? – Thank you universe for another great chapter in my memoirs.

I’m screwed – perhaps it is time to get hammered.

Geez Louise…not again – once a Thelma, always a Thelma. 😉

Thank you Google images!

Well, you get the picture. Next time you find yourself leaning toward negativity take a moment and think about how you can flip it around.  Just making the effort will dissipate the negativity.  And remember – when nothing goes right – go left. 😉

Day one thousand three hundred and sixty-eight of the new forty – obla di obla da
