		<description>Enjoyed this very much, Nadia. 
 
I couldn&#039;t help but notice that your similar blogs on your own site garner an average of 50-60 comments!  How about bringing some of that great readership over here to Elephant Journal?  It would probably just take a few requests from from you on your blog that you would like to hear from them here, too. 
 
Just an idea to help Waylon grow his readership.

		<description>Hey Nadia, you and I have the same outlook on life, I think.  I always try to look at the positives - whether it be situations or people.  I can honestly say most of the time, people react positively to my positive attitude when I&#039;m out and about.  Of course, you get some who are determined to be angry or unpleasant.  But mostly I get back what I give out.  In a world where it&#039;s &#039;me, me, me&#039; all the time, I try my best to put myself in other people&#039;s shoes when things happen and try to understand where they&#039;re coming from.  And I know for a fact that there is a world of difference between the way people react to me and the way they react to someone else I know who is constantly negative about things.  And in spite of all the stuff that is going on with me at the moment, a friend of mine whom I keep in touch with on Facebook asked a few days ago how I can be so cheerful first thing in the morning.  Well, the way I see it, why not?  It&#039;s a good way to start the day! </description>

		<description>Yes, good reminder, I am grateful for being here in human form, for being well, warm, practicing yoga, feeling loved and loving.  I relate to the hitting bottom to learn from scratch,  I am now envisioning that it might also be possible to learn even from being happy, you know?  to move things along!,  thanks for your post :-) </description>
