Optimism

Optimism... it's a good thing, right?  I thought so for a long time, but then I had a stretch of bad things happening to and around me.  Would I have been better prepared for the negative feelings if I had expected and anticipated them?  Would I have been less disappointed?  I thought about this for a while.  I have people around me who are not optimists.  I might even say I have a pessimist or two around.  Were they less disappointed?  No... negativity ruled their days.

Then I saw this link from Huffington Post.  Optimism wins :o)

Resurrection

I'm in new and unfamiliar territory.  I'm starting over on many fronts, and I'm resurrecting my old blog to help me along.

It started as an assignment for my MLIS degree.  Then it morphed into a place to keep track of books that I'd read.  Then it just ... stopped.

So here we are again.  Where are we going?  I'm not sure, but we can go together.
