optimism

Optimism & hope, not pessimism & cynicism.
Celebration & sunshine, not depression & darkness.
Fun and life, not repression and apathy.
Engagement, not delay.
Action, not just words alone.
Honesty & trust, not deceit & manipulation.
Innocence and play, not weariness with ‘the real world’.
Main Street, not Wall St.
Imagination not resignation.
Vision and belief, not deadbolts & negativity.
Togetherness not apartness.
Happiness not loneliness.
Empathy not self obsession.
Understanding, not fear.
Responsibility not blame.
Shades of grey, not B & W alone
Physicality not virtuality.
Personal time, not computer time.
Rest and recovery, not burnout and loss.
Slow foods, not fast lanes.
Living dreams, not living dead.
Possible, not impossible.
Always the half full glass.
