The light of morning always follows night's darkest hours


Thanks Chris - hearing someone say such a thing is a spirit lifter for me.  Even more so, when it comes from someone like you.

Despite my rantings and ravings and posts of conspiracies and doom and gloom by my alter-ego DQ that I use outside this forum, I am really quite the eternal optimist.  Kind of like the kid who was given a big heavy box for Xmas which, when opened, turned out to be full of horse manure.  The boy proceeded to jump for joy.  When asked why, he said "with this much manure, there has to be a pony here somewhere."

Me, yes, there are a lot of things that really worry me, but, while not putting on blinders, I feel that it takes little more energy to smile than to frown and one might as well be a smiling optimist with eyes wide open.  Life is so much easier and healthier that way.

I think maybe you could use a bit of a smile maker like the one I posted in the jokes forum recently:

Five doctors got together and decided to go duck hunting.

Soon after they were in their duck blind, a bird flew over and the general practitioner said, "I think that is a duck," and so he took aim and started to shoot . . . but then he lowered his gun and said, "I better get a second opinion".

Another bird flew over and the pediatrician said, "I think this one is a duck too," and he took aim and started to shoot . . . . only to lower his gun and say "but that duck might be a mother and have baby ducks somewhere"

A third bird flew over and the psychiatrist said, "I am certain that this one is a duck," and he took aim and started to shoot . . . . but then he too lowered his gun and said, "but then it may not think it's a duck".

Then a fourth bird flew over and the surgeon immediately raised his gun and with no hesitation shot the bird out of the sky . . . and then turned to the pathologist standing next to him and said, "go find out if that was a duck".

Or perhaps take a look at some of the photos I posted on our forum image gallery . . .

No one ever promised that life's uncertain path would always be smooth and easy, and the further you venture out, the more obstacles you will find along with broader horizons - all part of the price, my friend.  When you do take an inevitable pitfall, I think that you just have to pick yourself up, perhaps a bit nicked here and there, and hopefully a bit wiser, and just keep putting one foot in front of the other with a song of hope in your heart, a smile of optimism on your lips and, in my case anyway, more than a little bit of mischief in your eyes!


To the rest of the journey, my friend!
