The word "optimistic" has been on my mind lately. Mainly, I think, because it doesn't even slightly represent me. I am far far far away from such a word. But since Christmas has come and gone and a New Year approaches I think I want that word to be close close close instead.
I think that this is the year that we will see tremendous growth and change and I pray that optimism will surround it all. 2011 has brought consistency with it--same old stuff--grad school and work have taken so much of our time. But since Rowdy is finished with his Master's program we have closed an old chapter and a new one has begun. In fact, I think I would like to put the old book down all together and head to the Life Library for a bright and shiny new fresh-off-the-press one instead.

I am going to get on my knees until I can feel it. Until I can dream it. Until I can BE it--optimistic. It's not such an unrealistic thought, you know. That "pessimistic me" could change for the better. I think I just will.

I like your attitude! And I envy your trip to Hong Kong!!
=)
Yup. Best present ever. But I think your optimism will be more far-reaching.
Should I admit that multiple times a day I remind myself to smile? I do. It reminds me of your feel it/dream it thoughts. Best wishes for your journey to optimism. May you work hard at it and make it stick.
That is a great motto! Love it. Maybe I should try it to.
Hong Kong! Holy cow! Have fun.
Great idea! I think I'll jump on that ride too. For me, 2011 is a year I am glad to leave behind, but never want to forget. I am so ready for a new year with new blessings, renewed faith, and more solid determination to find happiness... and hope happiness finds me!
Lucky lady to see a friend on an airplane!
