We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Senryü: Wilde Possibilities
hope from the heavens
potential life within view
the stars in our eyes
Your New Dream Home
In the heart of the city
Minutes from the harbour
Close to stores, schools
And public transport
Open floor plan
Energy efficient
Fresh air ventilation system
Low flow plumbing fixtures
Drip irrigation system
And yesterday I found a dollar
Comes see this dream home
for yourself

The wild perspective
I knew that dismembering farming accident
Was a blessing from the start
Because otherwise, I would never have met you
The on-call nurse of my heart

This is an uplifting and optimistic post. I am sort of a half-empty filled with rat poison sort of gal, attempting to form a half-full perspective.

Oh, I’m going to like this monthly theme, Mouse. I was wondering about the Stanford research on optimism. I am an optimist (generally) and have had a lovely relationship with my husband for multiple decades. But he’s a pessimist. OMG!

It’s nice to know there is a month dedicated to optimism.
That is an interesting situation.
I added a link to the pdf of the research paper. Not sure if it will work.
