“There was a little girl who had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead. When she was good, she was very, very good, and when she was bad, she was horrid.” Remember that old ditty? It’s a great reminder of how bad draws in more bad and good draws in more good and how we can choose which clump–bad or good–we want to create.
Joyful Springers cluster good. They consciously choose to lump together as much good as they can by refusing to linger too long on the bad things in life.
When something doesn’t go your way, you can complain about it and talk about it to whoever will listen. But when you do that, you’re inviting more things to go wrong. Instead of issuing that invitation, you can invite things to go right by turning your attention to what has already gone right for you. For every “wrong” thing, if you really look, you’ll probably find dozens of right things to focus on, and when you focus on them, they bring in even more right things to a happy cluster of great experiences.
[The TJ's Bed & Biscuit rescue pups are back. These cuties were rescued by Savings Grace Rescue of Raleigh, North Carolina, cared for at TJs and eventually placed in their forever homes. Do they make one of the cutest clusters ever or what?

JUST A NOTE: In the November 5 post of Ducky with her walking stick, wearing her Commando Ducky Outfit, I included a link where you can donate to the site if you want. That link went wonky on me and didn’t work. Several of you (thank you!) e-mailed me and asked me about it. If you do want to donate, you can use the link that does work: Look to the right side of the Joyful Springer website, at the picture of Ducky that says, “I pose for treats. Donate to my treat fund?” Click on that picture and it should take you to the Paypal donation page. Thanks so much to those of you who have donated!! Ducky has wagged herself silly in appreciation!
