Bingo! Great.

When my kids were growing up and would say any negative, "I can't..." "I'll never...", "I don't,", etc. I would finish their sentence with the word/comment, "Yet!"
Worked so well for them and I'm finding I (need to) do that kind of reframing more and more to myself, lately!

With fruit, with weeds even; but gather them
