It sounds exactly like Dad. But at least you two were able to spend some time together no matter how frustrating it may seem for Pollyanna at times. Be thankful for that.

Glad you appreciate what I go through on a daily basis...you can see now why Andrea laughed at me! <br /><br />Imagine a lifetime of witnessing this dichotomy of attitude. I'm amazed that my kids aren't totally confused about life.<br /><br />I remember the day that the Titan was fuming about a business partner who was giving him fits. I asked him how the situation made him feel. His reply was, "It make me feel like he's an idiot!" <br /><br />Some people just aren't wired like me.<br /><br />Have a rosy day, Reya! xoxoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937847762010497687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891179949997003543.post-80302981552568313432011-02-17T08:52:44.056-06:002011-02-17T08:52:44.056-06:00Patty, your perspective is priceless.

My engineer hubby is nothing like me and I have grown to laugh at the canyon between us. And in the grand landscape of it all he says he lives vicariously through me. As I climb higher and find myself perhaps so high that I may loose my grip on reality, he is always there with all the gear to catch me if I fall. Now THAT's the yin to My yang. It's a good fit. Always love what yu have to think!

That's the whole point of this excercise, yes?<br /><br />I used to rail against what I perceived to be the negative attitude, but I've come to accept "what I cannot change" and go on about my business of being merry. I'm certain that equal amount of acceptance has been required of 'him'.<br /><br />Some days it's Escher, some days it's Da Vinci. <br /><br />You are so fortunate to have found your soulmate and be able to spend each day with him. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your thoughts!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937847762010497687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891179949997003543.post-81464043323131150392011-02-17T07:53:50.291-06:002011-02-17T07:53:50.291-06:00And the girl comes clean!

Although I'm not partnered up, so to speak, I am told often here that I suffer from optimisme aveugle (I'm blindly optimistic) and here in France it's as if I have some sort of rare disease that they could possible catch if not careful. I just respond to their diagnosis by explaining that it's my job because someone needs to be in charge of balance.

I too am...Hmmm... do I dare say what I am thinking?<br />I too am a romantic, an optimist. I was with a man for 15 years that was neither of these. I call it a buzz kill. He couldn't balance me or I him. I finally went my seperate way. I am now with my equal and never been happier. I can't say that at first he was the romantic that I am. He has learned to appreciate getting up early on vacations to watch the sunrise. To plan trips around the full moon and to watch sunsets by the sea with a glass of champagne. Valentines day is everyday when it's filled with optimism and romance.donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11871298204174081269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891179949997003543.post-47484232833326525132011-02-17T07:31:53.543-06:002011-02-17T07:31:53.543-06:00Yes, Steven, it's great consolation to know I&...Yes, Steven, it's great consolation to know I'm not alone in my quest to loan my rose colored glasses to others occasionally.<br /><br />I hadn't felt that it compounded their discomfort.
