I’ve said in the past that even if you have to lie to yourself to make yourself feel better…* Sometimes it turns out not to be a lie. I had a habit of thinking the worst -when thin things went wrong. I guess there was a lot of lion going on there too – Because even though things never quite worked out the way I would have liked them too, they were never quite as bad as I thought they were either.

You know what the differences between an optimist and a pessimist? The optimist fibs to themselves about how good things are -while the pessimist fibs to themselves about how bad things are. 😁😔

*In my particular case I would either get very angry or very down -And I have found that it’s rarely a good thing the thing to let myself go there. What I mean to say is that a harmless fib would have been far, far better than the alternative (which I, and others experienced numerous times (regretfully) 😔
