Thanks guys, I will try to get in to Metta meditation. Being positive is definitely something I could use practice with. I've learned a lot by watching my family members, and they have indirectly taught me a lot about why I should not be negative.

Thanks, Monkey. Your perspective has given me the puzzle piece I've been looking for for understanding a situation in question. What you are saying makes a lot of sense. I suspected envy, but I couldn't think of a single reason to be envious of me about. The power of understanding has always been a powerful tool for me.

Thanks all!
