I've tried and failed repeatedly to get all upbeat and irritatingly bubbly in your face.
For this reason I have avoided the various optimist organizations around which proliferate in various circles ... but not mine.
Today is Optimist Day.
It is celebrated the first Thursday of February and takes place on February 2 this year.
The day is said to focus on building and sustaining a positive future. So if you're an "optimist" ... either you as a facet of yourself — or as a member of some optimist club in your midst today is your day.
