"The glass may be half empty, but at least it's half full, right?"
Way too nice of a person. Didn't ask for anything but a smile, despite the rainy PNW weather.

Explore : The chrysanthemum stand for optimism and cheerfulness, long life and happiness. It is the flower for October in China and the flower of September in Japan.
The yellow chrysanthemum is associated with November.
Chrysanthemum is derived from the Greek words chrysos, meaning gold and anthemon meaning flower.
Cultivated over 3,000 years ago in China, the Chrysanthemum is known as the "Flower of the East" and the "Flower of Life". Tao Yanming was the first historical breeder (around in 400 A.D). After his death, his hometown was named Juxian meaning "City of Chrysanthemums".
According to Chinese Feng Shui chrysanthemums bring happiness into your home.
"The Japanese tell the legend of twelve young maidens and twelve young men who set out from China to find the "herb of youth," which they believed kept people eternally young. In order to trade for this herb, they carried with them baskets of chrysanthemums. When their ship wrecked near an uninhabited island, they swam ashore and planted the chrysanthemums. It was the first introduction of chrysanthemums to Japan, and to this day the imperial coat of arms of Japan shows a golden chrysanthemum with sixteen petals."
الأمل هو شعور عاطفي يتفاؤل به الإنسان ويرجو فيه نتائج إيجابية لحوادث الدهر أو تقلباته حتى وإن كانت تلكم النتائج الإيجابية صعبة أو مستحيلة الحدوث.
الطموح هو إمتلاك الحافزِ لبلوغ القوَّة. يُريد الأشخاص الطموحون دائماً القوَّة أمّا لأنفسهم أَو للآخرين بغرض النظر عن إذا ماكانت القوة نفسية أو ماديّة أو سلطوية أو عاطفية أو اجتماعية.
التفاؤل هي وجهة نظر في الحياة و التي تبقي الشخص ينظر إلى العالم كمكان إيجابي، أَو تبقي حالته الشخصية إيجابية. و التفاؤل هو النظير الفلسفي للتشاؤم. المتفائلون عموماً يَعتقدون بأنّ الناس والأحداث جيدة أصلاً، و أكثر الحالات تسير في النهاية نحو الأفضل.

[...] A pessimist only sees the dark side of the clouds, and mopes; a philosopher sees both sides and shrugs; an optimist doesn't see the clouds at all--he's walking on them [...]

COCA-COLA ART GALLERY
The ‘Coca-Cola’ Remix Art Gallery is a collection of images that has been designed by leading artists and designers. They have all depicted their own interpretation of the "Coke Side of Life" philosophy. The work of the artists reflects various styles, personalities and cultures, and all designs have one thing in common: they are colourful explosions of energy, optimism and happiness.
"Life handed him a lemon,
As Life sometimes will do.
His friends looked on in pity,
Assuming he was through.
They came upon him later,
Reclining in the shade
In calm contentment, drinking
A glass of lemonade."
(1940, The Rotarian)
Coachwork by Oblin - Brussels
By 1947, it was once again possible for people to start dreaming. The post-war Marshall Plan created a new wave of optimism; the film Out of the Past with Robert Mitchum and Kirk Douglas filled cinemas to overflowing; new buildings were going up everywhere; and big cars were once again driving through the streets. Those who could afford it even had cars specially made for them by famous coachwork builders. Someone who could afford it was the commander of one of the so-called Congo boats – ships on the line between Antwerp and Matadi, a port in the former Belgian colony. He commissioned coachwork from Oblin in Brussels, to be mounted on a French Delahaye 148L chassis. The ‘L’ stood for légère (light), a reference to the shorter wheelbase than for the limousine model. The powerful Delahaye was often used in this way by French and Belgian coachwork specialists, because the French manufacturer did not make coachwork of its own. The coupé for the sea captain was given a front end with fearsome shark’s teeth, anchors on the steering wheel and hubcaps, and a chrome speedboat as decoration for the bonnet’s nose. But the piéce de résistance was the plastic roof that looked like the canopy of a submarine, something that was not only unusual but also slightly curious: the canopy protected the driver and passenger from wind and rain, but not those sitting on the fold-out seat at the back!
By 1968, this Delahaye had been gathering dust and rust for some time in a garage in Bruges. However, the garage’s owner now planned to retire and wanted a final clear-out. As usual, Ghislain Mahy at first thought the asking price was too high, but after some brief negotiation agreed a deal and was soon loading the Delahaye onto his trailer. This garage owner had a curious connection with submarines. The driveway of his home was adorned with a self-made one-man submarine, although it was little more than a few sheets of soldered iron and a glass dome. He had used this mini-sub to smuggle butter from The Netherlands, until he was caught by a customs patrol on the Ghent-Terneuzen Canal! Sadly, he never explained how the submarine on wheels came into his possession.

Whether or not well placed, optimism is a good thing. I wish optimism on everyone.
Took this in the mirror, very overexposed so the background blew (which I wanted) but it also totally washed out any color in my face. I went with it and desaturated. Added some clouds, because I love clouds.
