On the other forum my friend Mr. Billybud indicated he was comfortable enjoying the good in life. He mentioned that may be a little "Pollyanna." I mention this to a "Right Brain" and she suggested that maybe instead of reading all these books that not even the author cares about the subject, I re-read Pollyanna. There are now two votes I am being a curmudgeon and I thought further polling was not necessary. So I downloaded on my Kindle, for free, Pollyanna and read it. It is written for grade schoolers. It was delightful, fun, whimsical and packed full of quotable lines. It made me smile. Only a couple hundred pages and well worth the time to read. It was like taking a shower, made me feel good. I am going to make an effort to change my attitude...So thanks.

Glad you feel better, but I never thought you had a bad attitude. You see the world like it is in most cases.

As a true "Uncle Remus" southerner...I am a true romantic.

By nature, I have always looked for the good. My kid brother is much the same. My middle brother always said that every silver lining had a cloud...

I do believe that a positive outlook fortifies one in life, along with the love of a lovely woman.

Now...You can just call me Mr. Zippee da doo dah.

And, whatever you do...please, please don't make me watch college football...(LOL...the briar patch routine has suited me well over the years).
