Change

Does an optimist like change more than a pessimist?  Is change set in the positive column or is it just what it is…change?

The dictionary reads:

“to make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of (something) different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone: to change one’s name; to change one’s opinion; to change the course of history.”

When the witch turned the prince into a frog, I’m sure the prince was none too happy.

It’s all about one’s perspective.  In my case change isn’t always great and it certainly takes effort.  There are times I’m way too tired to embrace another change…another radical move from the space I’m in to the new space…yet I foment change. What’s that about?

I just don’t like standing still and I certainly don’t like feeling down.  That’s just the time to head for the positive side of life and make a change to get there.  The yoBOPtimist kicks into gear and I’m whistling “We Are The World.”
