Hello everyone. Welcome to another Thriving Thursday. I’m Teagan Ríordáin Geneviene here with a guest post for the Story Reading Ape.
Thriving Thursdays: Busy? Maybe That’s a Good Thing
Too busy to be discouraged — but not too busy to thrive! Here are some mindful words from my favorite redhead.
“One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn’t pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore you faith in yourself.” ― Lucille Ball
Wishing you a thriving Thursday,
Mega hugs,
Teagan

I like to believe I’m an optimist, though sometimes the world likes to throw a curveball just to stir sh…stuff up!

It surely does, Jacquie! I’ve long said that when I do a motivational post, I’m encouraging myself at least as much as others. I struggle with positivity.
Thrive on, my friend!

Lucy was such a good businesswoman. She was well ahead of her time, and ahead of many men in the industry at that time. Among other things, we can thank her for Star Trek.

That’s an new one for me, Dan. I’ve got to explore the Lucy/Trek connection when I get a minute. I’m totally intrigued. I do agree with all you said. Have a thriving Thursday!

Thanks for visiting, Sparky. She is such a marvel, isn’t she? When I started writing my 1920s blog serials, somehow or other her voice got into my head as the narrator. Then the heroine became (in my imagination) a teen aged version of Lucy. Have a thriving Thursday!
