Wednesday's child

I was born on a Wednesday, and always thought that us Wednesday's children got the short end of the stick in that poem. "Wednesday's child is full of woe" - well isn't that encouraging.

Optimism is something I struggle with quite a bit - my mind goes all too often to the worst case scenario. One thing that helps a great deal is keeping a sense of gratitude - even in the most difficult situations, there's always something to be grateful for. Or, as it's put in this quote from one of my favorite movies: "could be worse - could be raining!"
