It's not often I'm called an optimist. More often than not people note that I am quick to point out the drawbacks of any situation. The word they use to describe this is typically "pessimist" although I prefer to think of it not as pessimism but rather a manifestation of my being a Libra.
So it came as quite a shock to me today when someone told me they wish they could be as optimistic as I was. To be honest, I wasn't quite sure how to respond.
Maybe I am being more of an optimist these days. Maybe the daily mantra of "Today is going to be a good day" is finally working. Maybe, maybe, maybe, ad infinitum...
I'll just take the compliment and say I'm an optimist. For today, at least.
