Just lestening to Michael Palin on today radio show.

I was not always an optimist but now basically retired from full time cut and thrust and city life like to look for the positive, including here.'
With terminal ill health, taxes, visas family issues all of us encounter challenges it is how we react.
I also recall of few great aphorisms
"A pessimist is someone who lives with an optimist"
or great Cuban poet Marti's saying
"I thought I was poor as I had no shoes, then I saw a man with no feet"
