Wake Up Expecting Things to Be Good!

Dolly Parton on stage at the Grand Ole Opry during a live broadcast in Nashville, Tenn. April 23, 2005.

“When I wake up, I expect things to be good.
If they’re not, then I try to set about trying to make them as good as I can
’cause I know I’m gonna have to live that day anyway.
So why not try to make the most of it if you can?
Some days, they pan out a little better than others,
but you still gotta always just try.

Occupying Mental Real Estate

and it’s your attitude, and not your DNA,
that determines much of the quality of your life.”
