Maybe because I'm happily over 50 yrs old, I've discovered being an optimist helps me at all costs! When a curve ball comes a fly' in, my ability to deflect damage has been due to my "flexibility" roll with the punches. It's a game I didn't ask for, but with three adult "kids" and two granddaughters, I'll take it!
Back in the 60's there was a Lynn Anderson song that taught me something: "I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden. Along with the sunshine, there's gotta be a little rain sometimes"… Phew, a life mantra in the making right there! Honestly, in this day and age, I don't know what I would do without my ability to make lemonade out of lemons. Trust me, I drink an awful lot of lemonade!
I 'm leaving out the most important human in my life - my husband - without whom I never would have this philosophy! We have been married almost 32 years and many of which were far from perfect!! That being said, he has always been my rock! For instance, every morning before heading to work (we own our own business), he always says, "Make some body's day today!" Wow! If you actually try to do that and take your eyes off yourself, amazing things happen!
