An optimist is someone who orders a dozen oysters in the hope of being able to pay for them with the pearl he finds inside.

Optimismus
Ein Optimist ist ein Mensch, der ein Dutzend Austern bestellt, in der Hoffnung, sie mit der Perle, die er darin findet, bezahlen zu können.

It's a dreary day in San Francisco. Though we need the rain, it's hard thing to wake up to. I'm glad it stopped long enough for me to sneak out into the garden for a photo, but I'm back inside, wrapped in a blanket, waiting for the sun to reappear as I read more stunning headlines. In my waking hours I believe we can get through this. I am heartened by the signs of new life that peek out among the ferns.
“The true optimist not only expects the best to happen, but goes to work to make the best happen. The true optimist not only looks upon the bright side, but trains every force that is in him to produce more and more brightness in his life….”

...A ruined Pennine farm. Built from beautifully dressed stone, and carving some sort of living from what is very wild and marginal land. No services, no road access, and usually wild weather. That's optimism.

"Optimism is not a feeling; it is an optical phenomenon. It is the act of positioning yourself so that the light has no choice but to pass through you and reveal the clarity within."

Finally finding time to pick the camera up again. Liked the light play in the green stones. Also thought the 'light' theme was cool, because Garbo is doing much, much better!
"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence."

Ain't that the truth! Lose hope and what is left. And confidence, it helps to have a healthy dose

Until spring! The ground is covered with snow and it's only 28 degrees outside, but the sun is shining and spring is on its way! ODC "Optimism or Pessimism" I choose optimism!
Once I pondered optimism for the "in the future" challenge I just couldn't get it out of my head. I thought this photo was a good symbol for optimism :)
I believe if we remain optimistic, even through very difficult times, we grow! I also believe that if you are pessimistic through dark times, it will hinder your growth... (I could write forever on this topic, but I'd best go and make my tea :))
