I hope you don't think the following quote is sermonizing at you, but I have to keep reminding myself to be more optimistic.....so here goes:
In difficult times, people too often lose the ability to face the future optimistically. They begin to think about their tomorrow's negatively. They forget that the tough times will pass. They concentrate on the problems of today rather than on the opportunities of tomorrow. In so doing, they not only lose the potential of today, they also throw away the beauty of tomorrow. -Robert H. Schuller-
