		<description>In 1974 I wrote a humorous story and sent it to our local newspaper, called The Pioneer Press.  That started a weekly column called The Farmer&#039;s Wife.   Most every week I can think of funny happenings in my life.   When I wrote my first few columns, I was called The Chronic Complainer.   I am so much happier when the publisher changed it to the latter.   To this day I am still writing at the age od 71 and it keeps me going with no depression in sight.  Just remember, &#039;&#039;don&#039;t fret the small stuff.&#039;&#039;</description>

		<description>Liked this entry on positive thinking.   I&#039;m going to try it and quit being the person who sees the glass half empty.  Thanks</description>

		<description>Beth, how true!!!  In fact I am sending this on to Hunter!  While she is a positive person, she is still 17 and can get so bogged down in negative drama sometimes.  She misses the &#039;fun&quot; things in life worrying about small stuff!!!
Have a great weekend!</description>

		<description>Beth I love it.  I just found your blog and enjoyed this post.  You are right- focus on the positives, or at least notice them, and suddenly life becomes much more enjoyable and doable.  I find sometimes it is hard to remember to do it, but it definitely works.  Thanks for reminding me to really keep this up.  I like your system, I never though about writing down a different way to handle things, I believe that could help me to spend less time brooding about things that I didn&#039;t do so well.  Cheers!  :)</description>

		<description>YOU ARE AWESOME! The show is great and although I&#039;m not the target of the show or material, It&#039;s presented well and thorough and you are so comfortable with your guests and co-hosts that it makes you seem like an instant friend. Keep up the great work! I&#039;m taking a GREAT product that gives me energy and allows me to sleep better. You should share it with your viewers. Visit the website for more info.</description>

		<description>Hi Beth, This is a great thing to do. We don&#039;t think about the little things in life. Its always the big picture. I am older than your mom but can learn from a young lady. This is awsome. Keep up the good work. Love U, Bonnie</description>

		<description>Thank you not only for making positive differences in your own life but sharing your passion with others.  I am going to start making lists in my own life and for every negative thought, I will balance it with something positive that has happened in my day (after all, it is A Balancing Act) :).  So that one day, when I go back and read my journal, I can laugh, smile and celebrate all of the things that made me happy at that time in my life.</description>
