Many many cocktail conversations with friends this 4-day holiday weekend and the general tone of them was very upbeat, while still being quite realistic.  My favorite conversation was when a neighborhood friend and I were talking about how fear breeds fear and the media, the blogosphere, and everyone’s psyche is consumed by fear.  Towards the end of the conversation, we completed the following phrase after a long pause with the same exact word “fear is so………..Bush.”  This blog post isn’t intended to be negative or political.  In fact, it’s quite the opposite.

I’m experimenting here, but I’m deeming December as the month of optimism.  Many will call it naive. Others may say it is a pipe dream. But, I think that it will produce positive results, reduce stress + anxiety, and make it a far better month all around.  It’s not going to be easy to take this stance – the stock market rose 17% over the past 5 business days, and media is refusing to write about anything that doesn’t focus on “disaster”, “crisis”, or “depression.”  F*** it – I’m going with optimism – join me – it’s the good side of life.

BTW – today is Haiku Monday, so write about some December optimistic memories, experiences, or themes.

I believe, believe
in optimism optimism
Life is better that way
