Optimism

I peeled the "Mess with Texas" bumper sticker off my car today.  It occurred to me that we're here for the long haul and it's a tremendous waste of emotional energy to not like the state in which I live.

On the same note, some gratitude points...

• friends who will tell you the truth when you are ready to hear it
• lemonade iced tea
• freckles on Henry's nose
• cool nights and heavy blankets
• Hershey's milk chocolate

For some more  thoughts on optimism, and on choosing your outlook, see yesterday's posting at Lyn's Lifepixels.

Enjoy your day,

Laurie
