positive paradox

My glass is half full. The only way to describe how I feel about the absurdities of life is positive. I was making a list in my head last night about the challenges I face daily, ones I've overcome and the many that lie ahead and I remain optimistic. I'm not saying I haven't rolled over a few times and pulled the covers up over my head, but overall life is good. Has anyone read the Wayne Dyer book(s) about the power of intention? I have not. I want to think that my attitude is that of good intention --- wait, isn't that what the road to hell is paved with?

Really now, I am quite sure the preview paragraph I read defines my reaction. Yeah, duh!

Quote from Hugh Downs;

A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.

take care!
