Pollyanna Was Right!

"Oh, yes, the game was to just find something about everything to be glad about -- not matter what twas," rejoined Pollyanna earnestly. "And we began right then -- on the crutches."
Pollyanna, Chapter 5


You often hear someone refer to someone else being a "Pollyanna" - and it usually means they are either in denial about the seriousness of the current situation, or that they are making light of it. But I'm here to say, Pollyanna was right!!! She didn't deny anything - she simply played what she called the Glad Game - and the purpose of the game was to discover, something, anything, to be glad about in a given situation.

A Course in Miracles says "All things are lessons God would have me learn."

So... the good things are blessings and bring peace. The bad things set up a longing within us that guides us toward the good things. Hence, it's all good. And.... Pollyanna was right!

Peace Be With You
