Confession:
OK, it's Monday morning. It's freezing outside. I have a ton of laundry to do as well as an entire house to clean, and I can't help myself. . .I'm smiling.
If I were an egg, I'd be cooked sunny-side up!
It wasn't until my 30th birthday that I realized, I'm an optimist. . . I expected to go into a major depression when I was getting close to the dreaded black balloon birthday. But it has come and gone and life as a 30 something isn't too bad.
I can't stand to be gloom and doom. The grass is not greener on the other side of my fence. It's pretty great right here. (So, I've gone from an egg to a cow. MOOO!)
When I realized that I have a tendency toward optimism, I thought to myself, "Oh, no! I'm one of those annoying people who are always finding the silver lining!!" Hmmm. Can an optimist be annoyed by other optimists? I guess so.
Let's not confuse optimism with being a morning person. I am not a morning person. But if I have to be up early, I refuse to grouch around the house grumbling at people. That seems like a big waste of energy. Besides, it's bad karma.
Beware! You just might be an optimist too!
So, now I can see that it's past 1pm and I haven't been doing much of anything. I started this post and talked to a couple of friends on the phone. A couple of people have come to my door. (Both of them were smiling and so I bet they're optimists!)Now, I think I'll take a stab at the mountain of laundry that is waiting for me. Laundry just happens to be my nemesis. But that's a post for another day!
Happy Monday!

I love you, Mj. I could have told you that you were an optimist. But you needed to figure it out for yourself. And that's what being 30 something is all about. Isn't it wonderful! If I had any idea that being 30 something was going to be this great I might have tried to skip my 20's.
