Technology, Life and Negativity

Life like technology always is changing. I think of how life will be in the future when my children are older. The increases in technology now baffle me let alone what they will see. They will look back at this day in age and probably think that we all lived like the Flintstones or something like that. I really like technology and I should like it, I find it facinating and interesting. Just think if it wasn't for some geeky teenagers idea to make a operating system that everyone could use the PC and the MAC would not have been born. That just created a snowball effect of technology. It kinda boils down to the ripple effect. Everything that we do has an effect on everyone or everthing around us in one way or another and that is what makes life interesting. I was reading another blog today and they were saying how everyone that they knew had a negative outlook on life. I find that to be more and more the case as I progress throughout my life. I often feel like my attitude is becoming more and more positive and everyone else is becoming more and more negative. I think (and this is my opinion) that the negative people ought to try to forget what is making them so negative. That is a grand feat in itself as I have had a difficult time in forgetting recent negative life experiences myself, but they all heal in time. Rather that is minutes, days, weeks, months or even years. I also find that the more I concentrate on the gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and serving others that these negative experiences become not so important. Another thing that I try to remember is that there is always someone out there who has it worse off then me (perhaps the people who wait for me to update my blog :-) ). That always seems to make these negative experiences disappear. Finally if neither of those approaches work and I feel like the world is starting to close in on me. I get on my knees and I pray doing nothing but counting my blessings. I try to kneel for five minutes (get a pillow for your knees) and do nothing but thank Heavenly Father for everything that I can think of no matter how miniscule it may seem! I especially thank him for the atonement and the gift of life and that really makes the "problem" become small! I have veered from the topic of technology and seemed to veer into religion and my religious views. I am not sorry for that at all because my religion is a major part of my life. It has been the third best thing that has happened to me only second to my children and my marriage. Anyhow--I hope that this has helped you to cope with whatever your negativity is and that it will guide you in the future. It is only a suggestion but it has worked for me

Later and have a great day!!!
