I have a confession to make

I just had an email from a reader of this site and she accused me of seeing life 'through rose colored glasses'. The implication of course was that I couldn't see reality. It took me all of 2 seconds to realize....she was right!

How could I argue her point, when I have beliefs like....

"reality is nothing more than an

illusion, that might hold you back

from becoming all that you can be"

Actually, I'm feeling pretty good about that comment and as you can see from the picture....rose colored glasses can look pretty cool.

I guess I could argue with her that realistic people are boring and predictable, but that wouldn't be nice (but it would be realistic). Or I could invoke Albert Einstein to come to my aid. Here's what he had to say....

"there are only two ways to live your life.

One is as though nothing is a miracle. The

other is as though everything is a miracle"

So even the guy with the funny hair and the big brain believed in miracles. As far as I know miracles would not be considered realistic. Albert is on my side!

She also said that most people wouldn't share my overly optimistic attitude about how the world worked? And that I was definately in the minority, as if to imply that those of us that are not part of the herd are some how inferior. I guess I could have replied....

"like birds of a feather

fools flock together"

But then that wouldn't be very nice, so I won't say that. Instead I'll just wish her a happy life, even though I'm sure it hasn't been that way so far for her. Or I could tell her that the sky is always blue in my world but then she would say, "no it's not, its rose colored because of those damn stupid glasses you have on"

Maybe it would be best if I just ignored her email and pretend I never got it!
