I often hear, “Be Realistic!”<\/strong> whenever someone finds I’m being too happy.<\/p>\n

What I say to them, with a smile, of course, is, “We both are!”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Realism, is only in which way you choose to see something.<\/p>\n

It’s raining today…..<\/p>\n

“It’s wet and dreary, what a horrible day!”<\/em><\/p>\n

“Look at that, I’m so pleased, our garden really needed the water. It’s going to be so refreshing and smell just wonderful today!”<\/em><\/p>\n

You’re BOTH right, so you get to choose!<\/strong><\/p>\n
