My Pollyanna Woes
But now, I can be glad for this opportunity to make a whole lens devoted to Pollyanna and the Glad Game. Many of you can hardly contain your excitement, I know.
This was, in fact, the topic of the first post of my first blog, Nonsensical Sunshine
Top 3 Reasons to Be Glad
If you're reading this...
- You weren't dead yesterday.
- You aren't dead today.
- You might not be dead tomorrow.
Pollyanna would like to know...
(if she were real, that is)
Pollyanna or Not?
As for me, I've always been a Pollyanna... I know, it's sad. But I can be glad for my contrary streak - it saves me from so much!
Are you a Pollyanna spirit in a Mrs. Snow world? Or do you just want to kick Pollyanna in the shins?
I'm a Pollyanna!!!

Being like Pollyanna is so much better than anything else!
pompom210 says:
I am so totally Pollyanna! <3 Yeah, with all her contradictions. Sometimes, I really need to push myself to play the Glad Game. But, I'm glad that I think about it a lot. Pretty much, EVERY DAY! :D Yay!
If you wanna kick the sweet girl in the shins, just move on to someone else's comment. But, if you love Pollyanna, too, I write about the book at this lense:

&, alienflower, I'm glad you put up this lense. Do you know there are only four others on the entire subject?? (& I put up two of them!) I thought there would be dozens! :P
Sunshine & Blessings,

Mostly I'm a Pollyanna. Sometimes I NEED a Pollyanna.

Pollyanna mostly, someone else [I have not named...although others have and it starts with a 'b' and rhymes with witch] when I have my hormonal flashes!
ElizabethJeanAllen says:
Pollyanna has stars in her eyes, but I'd rather live in her world than nextdoor to a grouch.
What foul star was I born under to live in such a world as this???

- I have a wonderful friend in Milwaukee. She's a friend I only know via the Net, but I've got to say, she's helped me through a lot. I'm so glad I know her. She's got the heart of a star. She IS a star. &, when she's big & famous, I'll be there to say I always knew she'd make it! :O)

- The theme of fuzzy stuffed bear and Pollyanna Meets Frankenstein reminded me of a great movie short, Bambi Meets Godzilla. That made me smile. Fun lens, thanks.

From Pollyanna Grows Up
"Glad-glad-glad! Of course you're glad, Pollyanna. You're always glad for everything. I never saw such a girl. Oh, yes, I know it's the game," she went on, in answer to the look that came to Pollyanna's face. "And it's a very good game, too; but I think you carry it altogether too far. This eternal doctrine of 'it might be worse' has got on my nerves, Pollyanna. Honestly, it would be a real relief if you wouldn't be glad for something, some time!"
-Aunt Polly
We can be glad there's still time to save the planet...
