Hi, I think when one starts articles like this one should always start with a greeting such as hi! So hi! I think I generally come off as a person who is in a good mood and thus I am trying to get a job as a ‘Good Mood’ blogger for Nature Made. If you remotely like me, just even a tiny bit, microscopic, I’m asking, okay begging, for you to give me a vote here.
This is the part that I am going to sell myself so if you are someone who cringes when folks talk about their attributes feel free to leave – but not before you vote for me here. First off, I’m fun. Really, I am. In fact, the reason I’m fun is because I’m usually in a good mood (vote for me here). I’m a decent writer, albet albeit one that occasionally makes mistakes but tends to handle corrections with grace. I don’t think I have written too many ‘How Could This Person Correct My Spelling When I Have Misspelled a Word’ articles, but that could change, in fact I would happily write such an article if you vote for me here. If I do write that genre of article I will write it in a humorous manner and I would only hope it would put you in a good mood. Seriously, vote for me here.
Second, I’m not an idiot, although you can feel free to differ. I’m pointing out the fact that I’m not an idiot for the simple reason that sometimes the folks that get these gigs are idiots. I say that with the greatest respect, but I do say it in all honesty. It isn’t that they don’t have a few things in their favor, perhaps their good mood for instance, but that they don’t know how to interact with folks that aren’t sharing their good vibe. They act as if being in a good mood or whatever else they have to pitch is going to bring the world everlasting peace and all you have to do is believe in them – a complete stranger on the Internet. I’m not like that, I realize that by giving wordplay to my good mood may not change yours, further I know that some folks might try to persuade me to get into a foul mood in order to uplift theirs. So in conclusion, I want to point out that I am smart enough to acknowledge when someone is messing with me, but firm enough in my generally awesome mood not to let said mood killer party poop my mood. All I can state is what works for me and then call it a day…and ask you to vote for me here.
Speaking of things that do work for me in the mood department, I do take vitamins. Seriously, I take a lot of vitamins because I like vitamins, I am a Vitamin B addict from back in the day. I also take other supplements like Calcium and Flaxseed because you can never get enough Calcium and Flax in your system I say. Further, I’m not joking when I state that vitamins generally improve my mood. They really do and regardless if I don’t get the blogger gig for the Nature Made site, I will still use their products and take my Vitamins. BTW, if you want to me to get the blogging gig vote for me here.
I guess the ‘I take vitamins’ bit was number three, so number four is that I’m a cancer survivor (what good is having cancer if you can’t use it for demonstrating that despite confronting the big C you can still maintain a good mood?). Really, I was probably the most delightful cancer patient chemo girl you were ever likely to meet. That doesn’t mean I didn’t cry and get spooked at times, because I did, but I did keep on the positive side and despite what Barbara Ehrenreich blabbered on in her recent interview with Jon Stewart about how she didn’t want folks to tell her to think positive after she was diagnosed with breast cancer, my response is how does it hurt to keep positive? Granted, one must remain realistic to a certain degree, but really, what harm can be caused by being positive? I think it is understood by all that you are entitled to the sads when you are dealing with cancer, but I found it very helpful and healthy to think of my diagnosis as a blessing and to not only try to remain upbeat for myself and others around me. Needless to say, I also took advantage of the fact that after losing my hair to chemo the world of wigs was at my fingertips.
In all seriousness, any sort of health crisis you might go through isn’t just a crisis for yourself, but also for your family and friends. I wasn’t really given a lecture about how to remain positive by medical professionals, I think that sort of thing is reserved for people with great health insurance, no I figured that I owed it to the people who showed me unwavering support, and to myself, AND to take advantage of every moment I was, and am, drawing breath to be more positive than negative. Okay, here’s my plug again, if you agree then please vote me here.
The fifth reason is because I would love to be the new good mood blogger. I think it is a great opportunity to further my Internet writing empire, nation, county, village, neighborhood, trailer with cable access. I really do think it is a good fit and that I would do a wonderful job, I know one is supposed to always say that in any job interviewing process, but in this case it is true. All I’m asking is for you to vote for me here.
Oh, and it doesn’t end with your voting for me once, but you can vote for me several days in a row until this Friday. So please, once again, vote for me here.

Thank you : )
I'm a "rage, rage at the dying of the light" kind of guy, myself. When I was pre-school age my favorite Winnie the Pooh character was Eeyore. I can still hear my mother reading Eeyore lines like "How like them." I identified with him immediately. OTOH, I don't usually make a fuss either.
I don't remember where Gladstone is. I'm from Sedalia, the State Fair City, Queen City of the Prairies, and Gateway to the Ozarks or Somewhere Else Where Peanut Brittle is Sold.
Thank you.
I always enjoy reading your posts, Lisa. I feel like you could be sitting across the room talking about a movie, book, or set of vindictive sisters. Hope you get the gig. I will try to remember to vote again tomorrow. :)
Thank you for the compliment. I love the part about "vindictive sisters." If I could put that on a resume I would. : )
Yeah, we differ.
Please advise.
