Optomist = pessimist
Permalink  


I was remembering a tape I heard several yrs ago , after reading katy 's post this morning , way to go keeping a positive attitude ..
A farmer had a load of manure delivered to his home , he asked his two sons to move it to another location , the pesimist took one look at it and said no way and walked away , the optomist  started to shovel really fast  and the farmer came over and said wow son your doin a great job ,but why so fast ?
  Son said Dad I just know that under this pile of a manure there has to be a pony .!! gotta love it .

Yep Abbyal,

A positive attitude works wonders and doesn't allow manure to pile up. It won't make life perfect....but it will allow you to find your share of pony's....you have to continue shoveling.....

HUGS,
RLC

ROFL!  That's optimism for sure!!

There's a flipside to every emotion.  We just need to "flip it" when we are in the negative.

(((Abbyal))),

Love that!  Reminds me of the old saying: The pessimest see the glass half empty. The optimest sees the glass as half full.  If I'm thirsty I'd rather have a glass half full.  Thanks for the reminder.  Love & blessings to you and your family.

Live strong,
Karilynn & Pipers Kitty smile
