God has brought all these wonderful little things into my life: Good fellowship, chocolate, strawberry frozen yogurt, trips to Harry & David, and so so so much more.

And he keeps giving!!!!! It's..... ::shakes head:: incredible. He cares for me so much. And he gives me new hope every day.

For a while I was a realist. As a dear friend once said,

"A realist is a pessimist who doesn't want to admit it." 

 However, when faced by God's overwhelming outpouring of blessings in the midst of despair, I don't understand how anyone could be an optimist.

I'm what you call an extreme optimist; I'm just happy I have a glass of lemonade. :)
