Optimist

I try to maintain a positive attitude.

For example: it could be worse, the allergic reaction that had swollen Etta’s eye nearly shut could have done more damage. I didn’t just spill burning hot coffee down the front of my shirt, it’s that I discovered the lid to my new coffee cup isn’t actually for drinking it’s for decorative purposes. I didn’t just fall off that ladder, I narrowly escaped serious injury trying to clean up my house. It’s not a near-nervous breakdown watching the Christmas celebration from our college, it’s an opportunity to be thankful for the experiences we’ve had. It’s not being separated from your loved one(s) it’s building a future so that we can all be closer someday, living the life we want to live. It’s not a crisis of confidence, it’s just the happy fact of never being quite satisfied.

Perhaps this is why I say I’m an optimist. Usually.
