Positive vs Negative

Positive: A picture of Duke
Negative: not a very good shot

Positive:  It's the weekend
Negative: I only have Saturday off, and have to work Sunday

Positive: I didn't break my streak for consecutive posts
Negative: I'm really scraping bottom of the barrel for ideas

Positive:  I have lots of craft projects lined up to make
Negative: Work gets in the way of my crafting time

Positive: I've got an adorable little dog to brighten my day

Well would you look at that. The positives outnumber the negatives 5-4.

  5. I find it hard to believe you are scraping the bottom of the barrel for blog ideas ~ for this was a terrific one! :)

    Nope, no negatives about that sweet little Duke!

    Enjoy your one day off ~ I know you will make the most of it!

  11. He certainly is adorable. I love that little tuft of hair that is sticking up in the middle!

  12. *Laugh* As long as the good outweighs the bad you know it will all be okay. If it were me, I'd just square off that photo of Duke and go for some fuzzy edges; it's a great shot of his cute little face :o)

  14. Yes, the positives DO normally outweigh the negatives - just doesn't always seem that way! Enjoy your day.

  15. Look at that, it was a great post. The positives won. We also think that is a great picture of Duke. Nothing could be negative about Duke. Take care and enjoy your Saturday.

  17. Sheri, yep positively cute

    vickie thanks, it was spur of the moment and made up on the spot

    sandee you are absolutely right

    sharkbytes aw how sweet, another score for the positives

    catherine believe it, I was flying by the seat of my pants writing this one...lol

    beaded tail Duke's face sure is a bright spot in any day

    Grace they sure do, I would rather spend time with Duke than most people I know

    Amanda, thanks for the idea. and I would never say you never give me anything :)

    LDH well, lets face it, even though it is Duke it's not the best

    fishhawk three cheers for Duke

    Duni the problem is when I have the time there's so many things I want to do I don't know where to start and end up not getting things done at all

    Jen good idea with the picture, I was throwing this together real quick like so not much time to pay attention to details...lol

    Russ I'm sorry I have to work Sunday too but it's my own fault I volunteered

    philippa yep sometimes you have to look hard to see that there are more pluses than minuses

    Marg I admit I could have done worse, but since I used Duke it had to be a hit

    Donna he is one up beat positive pup

  18. You can't help but smile when you have a face like that greets you each day!

  19. for sure Duke is a positive and i know the feeling of finding something to post. i consider my post today a bottom of the barrel. i had already beat the horse of fall colors to death and posted enough photos to choke a horse, but felt i had to do something so went the easy way. i do want to say, any photo you post of duke is not bottom to me, i love looking at him.

  20. Get crafting girl, I stopped at a church meal and sale last night. Headed for one at 3 different schools today, they must all be close.

    You must have been a good hider if you didn't get caught first in the barn games.

  21. Ann, every time I visit your blog I want to say something about your dog, so here's my chance. DUKE it too stinkin' cute! And the picture of him is fantastic!

    I hear you about scraping the bottom of the barrel for ideas. Don't spend too much energy on that one. Sometime just a picture will suffice with no words. That screams "I'm busy, I'll be back tomorrow" :o)

    Have a GREAT Saturday! hugs xo

  22. If this isn't a very good picture of Duke...than you don't have any problems!! But...working on Sunday...that is a hard one... Thank God Duke is there to greet you when you come home!! Yep, the positives do outweigh the negatives!! (Your visits to my site certainly do brighten my day!)
    Many blessings!
    Ann

  23. Ann, you have many more positives with Duke being at the forefront. I wish I had that positive :)

    ReplyDelete
  24. Well, I don't know but taking photos of Duke is never scraping the bottom of any barrel!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Donna, I couldn't agree more. It's always a treat coming home from work and there he is sitting at the door wagging his whole body

    Sandra I know what you mean about beating the horse, I sometimes wonder if I don't over do some subjects.

    out on the prairie I wish I had some sales to go to. I went to one small one last weekend but didn't see much. I did spend some time today working on a couple things

    Molly :) I think everyone who visits here will agree with you about Duke. Can't help but think he's a cute one :) Sometimes I post a picture AND say I'm busy, I'll be back tomorrow...lol

    Ann and your visits here brighten mine. Yes working on Sunday really stinks

    country mouse studios thanks, I always know that if I have nothing else a post with Duke will be a hit :)

    poetic shutterbug I sure do, I can't even remember what life was like without Duke around :)

    Erika Duke, no but sometimes he isn't the most cooperative and the shots just don't come out too good.

  26. Oh that doggie!!! I just love Duke! Positive all the way!

  27. Bossy Betty, he's a keeper alright

  28. No picture of Duke is a bad one so by my reckoning the positives out-way the negatives 5-3!!!

  29. allotments4you I could show you some pictures of Duke that are much much worse than that but I'll go with your theory anyway...lol
