I am with you when it comes to be optimistic and not stick too much to the "doom"-mood. Writing and reading stories sometimes causes me having an edge-feeling and becoming all emotional.

For this reason I very much liked the novel "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". There, the author understood it brilliantly not to take life & the universe too seriously. The sandwich flower reminded me a bit on it. As Douglas Adams put the most ridiculous ideas to his chapters. I think he was giggling also when he put his ideas into words.

My weekend was relaxing. I hope yours too. And the rest of the Sunday.
Greetings!
