The best is yet to come - happy new year:

Restored optimism:  I like the ring of this and that's how I'm starting the new year. 


I am optimistic that I can:
be realistic, yet optimistic
about
being creative
even if I
am the only one who enjoys
and
understands
why I choose a particular
fabric
or color
or draw a distorted face
and love it's smirk
or scowl
or feelings of pain and tears.

I am optimistic that I can:
be me
and express myself
and color outside the lines
and think outside the box
and
write without lines on my tablet
even
when the words fall off the page
or get lost in translation

I am optimistic that I can:
wake up each morning with restored optimism

and look forward to this day and every day that follows

  3. So important to wake up with positive thoughts. Studies have shown it leads to greater happiness. I would call myself an optimist. This year will be much better than last year. If you wake up feeling optimistic everything else will just fall into place. I look forward to seeing more of your wonderful work.
