thought for the day

This quote from A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh is a good example of pessimism and optimism. Pessimist often considers their attitude as being realistic. When they don't expect anything good, they won't be disappointed. But how does that affect the mind? Are pessimists so scared of the world they don't have the courage to think hopefully about the future? How much energy goes into worrying things before they happen? How gloomy does life appear to be, if you look out of the window into the sunshine and tell yourself there's bound to be rain eventually?
Is it worth it?

Daily quote“If I continually focus on what I don’t have, |
“Now do you believe you are dead?” the short-haired girl pointed at the demon and the angel. I wanted to answer that hell no, I didn't, but I could not explain away the fact that the door from my room had opened onto a dining room my family did not have. Teleportation wasn't possible as far as I knew. Also the horned fellow and the angel looked scarily… real. The angel even twitched his wing to shoo off a fly that was trying to reach the plate of freshly baked rolls he was carrying. “Keep your flies to yourself,” he said to the demon who was tailing him in a manner not unlike a dog. Which the demon did. He snapped his fingers and the fly flew to him and burrowed itself into his hair. A closer look showed that his bushy hair was crawling with all sorts of little insects. His eyes looked exceptionally bright in the midst of all that dirty skin and hair. As for his age… maybe he was a bit older than the rest of the people I saw. But nowhere near as old as the angel. “Ewww…” I said out loud and stepped backwards, staring at the wriggling and crawling in his hair. The horned man smiled at me in a most un-demon-like manner. At least he had decent teeth. “Oh, we have a newbie here!” he said. “Welcome, dear!” - Leena Maria / Space Witches 1 / The Book of Witches / Chapter 2: Heavenly Breakfast |
I sell my books directly too - the ebooks are cheap to buy and the big e-stores don't share much to the author. So I have downloaded my ebooks to Payhip - they don't take commission and I get more to pay for my editor, proofreader and cover designer. All of whom are one-woman businesses themselves. (You get the ebook in your preferred e-reader format.) Buy Space Witches 1 / The Book of Witches directly from the author and get a 20% discount from the rest of the series |
If you prefer to write a short happy note each day, I have created planners for this effect. You can write your daily happiness in the squares of the weekly spread - and plan future happiness using the monthly pages. There are even happy (repositionable) stickers included in the planner.
