Attitude is Everything

I think we all know that bitching and complaining is ugly. I try really hard not to do it. No one really wants to hear it, but there are complainers everywhere. It never really feels good to go on and on about something, yet we continue to do it. It makes me want to explode sometimes when I hear someone bitch and whine about everything and everyone. It seems all that negative space could be filled with talking about all the good people and all the amazing dreams people have. So, lets have a good time, be grateful, forgiving, hopeful, and kind. Let people go ahead of you in traffic, smile at a stranger, forgive your parents and enemies, and attempt to love your job- or at least try to have a good attitude. Its the best thing for everyone, especially yourself.

Vaccinations and the Hype

Vaccinations have side effects, have been contaminated, and have even caused the diseases they are intended to prevent. It is very important to be honest about such things, and is in no way a conspiracy theory. Even the Center for Disease Control website lists 30,000-40,000 cases of side effects from vaccinations every year. Some of them are horrible and cause life long problems, even death. I had to call the CDC once because my boyfriend had an unbelievably tragic reaction to a tetanus shot. This experience let me to read a lot of vaccination statistics via the CDC, because I wanted to read the actual reports and statistics rather than any media hype. It's important to be educated and realistic I think, although trusting where we get our information is challenging.
