Hmmm…well, I do tend to always see the good in most all things. It’s kinda weird, but it’s there. Though at the same time, I also see the clouds and don’t really get shocked by it..can one be both???
My partner tells me that pessimists are never disappointed – they can only be pleasantly surprised. I am a fence sitter. I hope for the best always, while expecting and planning for the worse. An optomistic pessimist? A pessimistic optomist? One of those.
I am learning to deal with what is happening and I thank you for caring. In the end it will all work it self out, it’s a bit of a learning curve that’s all 🙂
I’m so much of an optimist that I’ve known people to call me Pollyanna…I choose to see this life as half full to very full…I don’t understand pessimism but I can also be a realist…so I’m the ultimate Pollyanna with a dash of realism thrown into the mix — makes life just that bit “spicier”!
Oh I’m definitely with you, an eternal optimist. I don’t give attention to the darkness and negativity. If I can do nothing else for this world, I can at least put out a little positive energy. Imagine what the world would be like if we all committed to giving out positive energy? How simple it is.
i take life on its terms. do what is in front of me. hope for the best. laugh a lot. surround myself with friends. perhaps, this makes me a middle-of-the-roadie.
I am just like you…I choose to focus on the good. Even though I know the dark side exists, I would rather keep my energy whole than waste it needlessly with worrying.

I love the fence sitting expression Soossie…How do you manage being a pessimistic optimist on a daily basis? It has to be quite a juggle
