December 17, 2012: Optimist, pessimist, or realist - which one are you?





It’s difficult to believe now, looking back-but as a child and adolescent I was highly optimistic, a generous, save-the-world kind of individual. As a young married woman in my 20’s, I remained optimistic, believing the outrageous lies despite the evidence. Somewhere along the line, though, and I’m not sure when, that optimism failed and I became a neurotic hard-core cynic. A life lived without hope, dreams, or goals doesn’t allow much room for optimism.
