Do you see the rain or do you see the flowers and rainbows?

I have written my fourth story and I’m very excited about it.  

The title of this next book will be 

Allyssa’s Magical Spyglass.  

As you may know, I have worked on basing my books off of inspirational quotes. 

I am excited to announce my fourth book is based on the quote, 

“The Optimist sees the rose and not the thorns; 

The Pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose.” 

- Khalil Gibran

This new story is about two troll brothers.
The brothers view the forest in which they live in a very negative way.
They are just not happy at all.
Alyssa, the unicorn, sees the same forest from a totally different perspective.
With the help of Allyssa’s spyglass,
the troll brothers are able to see things in a different light.

We all run into people that can only see the negative in their lives.
Many times, they are people who have a lot of good around them
and they choose to focus the negative.
Sometimes when we feel full of complaints
and negative feelings, it is good to just stop. 

Stop and look around you and take a look at all that is good.
When you start to focus on the good stuff, the positive stuff,
you may see that the good outweighs the bad.  

You can choose which way to view your life.  

Do you see the rain or do you see the flowers and rainbows? 

Allyssa teaches the troll brothers to see the latter.

Do you have a favorite quote? I would love to hear it! 

I'm always looking for new ideas for my stories.
