Trying to help someone that is optimistic is difficult because we have a tendency to fall further when things don't work out our way. I always have been a half-full gal and it has caused me lots of hardships at times. I have questioned many times if my optimism is more of a hindrance then benefit. But then there are times when my optimism has gotten me threw some very tough times and if I was a pessimistic person I would not have made it threw my hardships. I think that is why my "words to live by" has been such a influence in my life. I have found that when I am at my lowest I think of my philosophy and I find I can get threw anything. Being worried about a love one just shows how wonderful a person you are and I hope that my words of wisdom can be helpful in some way.
