Be Optimistic: " In the face of many good reasons and much evidence why not to be, be optimistic. People around you will be suspicious and assume you've got the inside scoop on the winning lottery numbers, but try it anyway. What's the worst that could happen? You could be wrong and discover the apocalypse was scheduled for tomorrow after all. But that's only more reason for being optimistic today."
I swear it wasn't rigged; Ronnie picked every card this year (with the exception of one swap due to extenuating circumstances). How fitting is it that my journey of 52 weeks ends this week with the final card that reads, "Be Optimistic?" It's wonderful. Today is Christmas Day...Merry Christmas! And so while finishing out this week recovering from Christmas, I am to be looking optimistic towards the future, towards 2012 specifically. It will have so much in store, I know it. I've already prepared another project for myself (because I liked this one so much) but you'll have to read about that next year.
Let's recap on the past year (52 weeks' tasks to be exact)...it looks like an awful lot when you see them listed...but taking it one week (or day) at a time is not too bad ;)
