Cheri Dixon: A Girl and Her Dog

Over the past 5 years, I have learned, or maybe grew into, being a more positive person. I believe that for a long period of time I was dealing with a lot of stress, which was taking over my personality. A tough marriage…and then a tougher road of recovery…put me in a place where I basically hated the world. But…designing a life I love and having the freedom to do so made me realize the truth in this very quote!

I have always been a realist. You would never hear me fantasize about what the world was or how my life may turn out. I guess when you deal with a lot in life, it is hard to live in that fantasy land. But, I found that when I started to see things in a more positive light, looking for the good in each day…wow, it actually showed up!

Here is my advice to all of you out there looking for a more positive outlook on life…on your hardest days, look for the good. It will be hard, but you can do it! One little piece of good is a great start…and a great place to build upon! Before you know it, you may be finding a whole lot of good out there!

Many people say, if you can choose anything, choose kindness. I agree, but I want to put a little twist on it…if you can choose anything, choose to seek out the good…you will find it! Until next time! Cheri ❤️
