The Committee of Negativity

Some people default to the negative.  You know them.  They say things like “that will never work here” and “we tried that before and it didn’t work.” It can be difficult to reason with that group of people, referred to as ‘the committee of negativity’.  Nothing you say will be taken seriously.  There’s an argument…

Remember last week, I said I was going to do a lot of walking? I did.  I averaged 5,564 steps a day.  My goal is 6000 steps. My goal is also to walk hills during the week too.  And drink 64 ounces of water each day.  I did that this week. Just walk. Thank God…
