the optimist

i went to the Sally Ann

today

to find books to cut apart

for my art journal

and while i was there

the title of a book caught my eye

so

i bought it.

 

The Optimist

(one man's search for the brighter side of life)

 

my dear friend

K

has given me full permission

to mark up all my books

regardless of them being

"learning" works

or novels,

as this one is

and so far

i have laughed out loud more than once,

and underlined and circled a few secret messages.

 

such as:

 

"deep down, if you're an optimist,

you know that everything is going to be OK.

you don't know why-you just know.

It's like your little secret."

 

yes, i thought,

this man knows just how i think

and therefore,

i love him.

 

 

and i am only on page 33.

 

love!
