Too optimistic?

"Life is not meant to be easy, my child; but take courage: it can be delightful."
- George Bernard Shaw

It takes courage to see the positives in all that life throws at you. I am learning, still learning, to be able to do this. I seem to be drawn towards the positive side, as a friend pointed out last night. I suppose that makes me an optomist. Sometimes though I think I need to take more time to stop and acknowledge the negatives, I seldom aknowledge them as much as I should in order to deal with them. I choose instead to laugh things off, say "at least I've learnt...", make light of a situation when there are times you do need to cry, be angry, shout, yell and scream about how unfair and terrible something is.
