"Back in" a bit this morning, not sure how to reply to this @livinguktaiwan, as it reads as though you are a little "down." Hopefully not as a result of reading my post. 🙂

Life is challenging, that is for sure. In the midst of all of it, I always think of myself as a "realistic" optimist, as I believe all will work out in the end. But, while traveling along the way through life, I don't like to think I am deceiving myself about what is truly going on.

Hope the day has dawned on some "sunshine" in your life and that it is looking a little better. Pretty sunny here!
