My husband has long held the belief that I see the world through rose-colored glasses, while I have viewed him as one of the more cynical folk I've met. His view is that if you expect/prepare for the worst and something good happens, it's a pleasant surprise.(!) I maintain that I'd rather have a happy life with a few unpleasant surprises than a miserable life with a few happy ones...<br /><br />I also agree totally with your view of the media and the relative anonymity of the Internet that makes people so much more brutally outspoken and unkind. One of my great fears is that critical mass will be reached and negativity will become our permanent reality. Then I read blogs like this or Brene Brown's or Susannah Conway's or Danielle LaPorte's and I find hope again. Thank you for being a positive voice in the world.<br /><br />A couple of side notes: as of Friday, we will be the same age. I lived in Austin for a little over a year, and my children grew up in The Colony (they lived with their dad). My son currently lives in McKinney. My mom grew up in El Paso.
