My husband and were once missed a connecting flight by a matter of minutes due to the fact our first plane was running a bit behind. Because of overbooking etc..it was six hours before we were able to get on another flight home. There was a family of four flying the exact same route and thus in the same boat as we were in. While my husband and I chose to look at the situation as a grand adventure and did our best to roll with it, this poor family took a darker look at things and was very put out by a situation they had no control over. We often saw them bickering with each other and acting short tempered with the airport staff. They were so unhappy that my husband and I took to calling them the Crab Family. Guess who finally got on the plane home feeling happy and relieved instead of stressed and worn out? So true, attitude can make or break a situation.

He said something in a negative way, not bad just the way you would expect someone to say it. Then I put a positive spin on it. He then mentioned that a friend had said to him, "If your glass is half empty, your glass is too big." Something to think about. I was just having a similar conversation with my husband.
