Every other day, every other day of the week is fiiine, yeah!

It's Monday, and no, I do not want to take about it!

The Metro Card I have in my wallet from my time on the subways of NYC says in big bold letters

 OPTIMISM

I like to keep this in my wallet, because it reminds me of a time when I was truly happy and also sometimes it's hard to remember to be optimistic, (it also stops me from buying a lot of impulse purchase. The card = NYC and impulse purchase = staying put due to lack of funds.)

This morning it was very difficult to be optimistic. I did not want to wake up. I did not want to get dressed for work. I did not want to commute with the masses. I did want my coffee and chatter with the girls at the coffee shop. I did not want to get my bus. I did not want to dodge speeding cars to get to my office building. I did not want to participate in useless chatter.

But here I am. After this post, I am choosing to be optimistic that today will turn out much better than how if first started. It may be a difficult decision, but for the good of my mental health and the health of those all around me, I am going to make that decision!

But before I go, here is the song that is on constant repeat in my head right now. Not very optimistic, but really, can Kermit be that pessimistic? He's just so cute and green!
