I might try and follow your lead. I am so negative and it impacts on everyone around me, not to mention myself.. :-(

Good luck.

Hey, but if something bad happens....like you lost very important documents, you ARE entitled to a pity party.

Some forms of optimism are a conscious choice.

I found the stuff about Val in Kim Stanley Robinson's "Antarctica" to be very helpful in terms of a way of thinking about conscious optimism.

I think for me optimism would have to be a choice.

I think my natural tendency is to be negative.

"Antartica"....is it a book?

I thought I'd replied to this, but it appears not. Sorry!

Yes, "Antarctica" is a book- it's a novel by Kim Stanley Robinson, one of my favorite authors. It might be my favorite of his- partly because of Val in it, and partly because it's just so rich with characters, ideas, and the landscape. It's science fiction, but not in a space opera and aliens sort of way.

Maybe I should read it.

Someday.....

I feel so much better when I try to be positive. It's not always easy but it is worth the effort.

I do think there has to be a middle ground. I just thought of that ( ... )

You are so right. It definitely helps us appreciate the good stuff ( ... )
