Agreed! You hit the nail on the head there. Sometimes one can forget to be thankful and highlight only the bad. Reminds me of when I was a live sound engineer, rarely did people say when it sounded great but they were always very quick to let me know if I'd made a mistake!

And I don't think it makes you a "Positive Polly", it's a pretty nice name all the same. It's good to take note and be grateful, and if you're can remind others to do so then even better. It's boring to overhear or even have to listen to a person moan about the most arbitrary things, 1st world problems. Much more interesting to hear someone say how great their day was or how cool something is!

I like to think I try to remind myself of these things, but no one's perfect. Just thinking about it and reflecting upon our actions is a good start though.
