I am always optimistic. My husband is a dedicated pessimist. That has made a very interesting journey. My grandma's life wasn't always easy but she told me later in life that she always had "hope" and if you have "hope" then there is always something to look forward to. I had wanted to share this thought that got me through some tough times - "even in the worst of times joy often rises from deep sorrow". I might also add that I am a realistically optimistic person. I do know when the time has come to know that hope alone cannot make something happen. And then I figure out a different way to approach something because it uses my positive energy and I am not depressed by negative energy.
@ Cynthia: Oh my God, each month since I started blogging, I'm so flattered and honored to receive 'new' award, great:) What I do know for sure is that it's a chance to recognize other bloggers that I think are up to some great things. I display it on my site with BIG pride, and many thanks you made my morning:)

Optimism is a little hard to come by in these times but I'm doing the best I can to hold on to it. Those bright colors help.

I believe in the power of positive thinking. But, all also believe in reality checks.
ReplyDeleteSo true! One of the reasons I use Fiestaware almost every day is the bright, optimistic colours. Hard to be gloomy when surrounded by such brightness!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you so much for your lovely kudos. I really appreciate your kind words. xo
