Epiphany # 1

I'm a pessimist. This isn't the epiphany that just happened to me, but I am a pessimist. But what I just realized is that I'm a grateful pessimist. A realist pessimist, maybe. I'm not sure.
For instance, I do see things in a negative light. Well, not really the negative, but for what they are, and in all honesty, I don't think things are all that great. But I see the glass half-empty. But the contents that fill up half of this glass, well, I am thankful for them. I don't believe this puts me in the category as an optimist, but I do believe it puts me above being a pessimist, in a way. I look at the downside of things, but appreciate that my glass is at least half-full.


Maybe you think I'm an optimist. Or maybe this doesn't make sense to you. Or maybe you just think I'm crazy. Whatever.
