I'm a glass half full kind of gal. Sometimes when your drink settles the best part is on the bottom anyway :) Most of the time it's good to be an optimist and it makes getting through the day a lot easier. My life has not be an easy one, no one's has, I know. I can't imagine I would have survived it without optimism though.
What's the problem with optimism? The disappointment when the rest of the world doesn't meet your expectations. I'm pretty flexible in this, I don't have HUGE expectations (most of the time). I think that I am pretty realistic in my optimism. Alas, disappointment does come and it always makes me feel like a fool for being an optimist. It's that little slap in the face, ha ha I told you so, boy are you a sucker reality check that no one likes to get.
There are many many many examples I could give you but being the optimist that I am I like to think that people actually read this blog and I wouldn't want to hurt any feelings.
So yesterday I got sucker punched with reality and my optimistic view was given a roadblock for while. This morning I sit, tail tucked between my legs looking at the world trying to decide. Is my glass half full today? Or is half empty?

Colleen-it's never bad to be an optimist!I truly believe that. It's not foolish to look for the good in life. I'm also an optimist (or at least I have ADD sufficient to make me forget how things can suck ;) ) and I think it has served me well. The good thing is that you will not wallow (for long) and you will pick yourself up and brush yourself off and be stronger for it!!! ((hugs)) cara
I need to be more of one and am trying....DH told me not to have expecations so I don't...(sometimes its why I put by blog to private then I don't get upset when no one reads it LOL)
