By Lynn Whitlow
Gratitude and a positive attitude go
a long way in promoting quality of life.
I see that from a personal perspective as
well as seeing the effects on others.
Being stuck in anger and resentment
does not make for a peaceful existence.
There is no way to keep objective thinking
and problem solving intact when our life
is bombarded by irritants and continuous
thoughts about how to get back at some
one for any wrongs, real or imagined, they
may have done to us.
One of my favorite sayings, that came
to me in the last couple months, is by an
unknown but very wise author: “Hold
ing resentment is like eating poison and
waiting for the other person to keel over.”
We all know that is not going to happen.
While we get stuck sitting in our
resentment, trapped by our negativity, the
person(s) our feelings are directed toward
probably have totally forgotten about the
issue, if they even were aware of it in the
first place. So who are we hurting? Only
ourselves and perhaps the friends and
family who are in close contact to us who
get hit by our “fallout.”
What to do about changing? Obvi
ously a change in attitude is necessary.
But it’s not easy to do when we’ve made
it a habit to be angry all the time.
A certain amount of adrenaline is
released when we get in a rant. Those
adrenaline highs can become addictive in
themselves, which makes it harder for us
to let go. If we are serious about making
the positive changes we need to bring
peace and serenity into our life and find that
trying to do it on our own is not working,
making an appointment with a counselor
to guide us through the process can help.
And if you believe in the power of
prayer, pray a lot. Ask for prayer from
trusted people in your life. Move on to a
better quality life.

Our activities include meeting in
Newport on Sept. 17 for our annual Hands

better. We add folks every year with me
goal of having a line of folks in recovery
and those who support folks in recovery
all the way across the bridge.
We also have other activities, includ
ing speakers, a barbecue, door prizes, kid
activities, a countdown and music. All
are welcome.
On Sept. 18, Tribal Behavioral Health
and a big handful of other Tribal programs
and community organizations/entities
will sponsor a 5K Run for Wellbriety, a
race/walk/run for all ages.
Registration only is $5; registration
and a T-shirt is $15 (must pre-register;
