Today

Hello. This is the first day of my first blog. Since I'm newly retired from a career where I had a strong voice and an ongoing audience of about 150 people, I am missing being able to express myself and my beliefs. I think this blog will be a perfect alternative.

One reason I chose the name of Positively Nancy is because my intentions are to live a more positive life. Of course, "The Secret" is all about this. Having an attitude of gratitude, thinking only the highest thoughts, and surrounding myself with other positive people are what I continually practice. Note the word practice!

I made a second play on the word, positive, because I intend to express myself honestly and generously and with a full heart. I hope to be able to reach out to people with a similar attitude, and reinforce what I have been learning for all these years. I am spiritual, not in any traditional religious sense, and I believe in a higher power, that I usually refer to as God. She/he is a loving, protective spirit who, I believe, has many angels at work. This beautiful world and all its living things could not have happened just by chance.

I believe God is everywhere, in the flowers, in a soaring seagull, within ancient boulders, in our glass of water. In you, in me, just everywhere. Isn't this wonderful?

So, my first day. Whew. It's fun. For now, Nancy

I've never done blog before. Hi Nancy good to hear from you. I know there are blogs, but what the heck are they anyway? I have never chatted either so I'm a baby at this stuff. I love you Nancy so I'm giving this a try. Marie

Good for you Nancy. I'm looking forward to reading your blog.

Maybe I will start a blog of my own for curmudgeons!

Let's do lunch!

Hi Nancy,

This is a book beginning that you are starting! You go girl (and all that similiar verbage).

You're right. God is good. God is All. The rational behind those statements: if God reached out and grabbed some "bad," where did he/she get it if everying is good?
No good saying "Well, he's all powerful" because just one jot of so-called evil would contaminate the All Good/God, right?

Too late to say "don't get me started" as I just did.

Love you, El (Eleanor Winters)
