I am now on my third set of positive words – going in alphabetical order.  I get just as much out of them now as I did when I began this series.

Before I began depression treatment the words I used out loud, and in my mind were peppered with negativity.  At that time, I did not realize the power that words could have on a person’s mood, attitude, and outlook on life.  Depression treatment has taught me to be mindful of the words I use.  Creating this list of positive words for each letter of the alphabet has been a terrific way for me to build up a positive word bank.  My life is very different now.  I see a future laid out before me that will be filled with what much joy. I know there will be sorrows, however, I think the joy will outweigh those.

Feel free to use anything you see on this list on your blog – or even create your own list of positive words.

Strong – This word makes me positively happy because I am strong.  I honestly thought dad’s death would just undo me.  While some days have been extremely difficult, I have noticed I am stronger than I gave myself credit for.  I miss dad every day – and I think I always will- however, I believe he would be proud to see me coming through this OK.
