The Power of Nope

There is optimism. The world of optimism is where I choose to live my life most of the time. Sometimes, my optimism is a bit hard to conjure up. On those days, I live in the twin world of noptimism. Pronouce is like "NOPE-TI-MISM" and you will completely understand what I am getting at. My happy, uplifting, grateful feelings are suddenly shot down by an inner voice of NOPE.

Today is going to be a great day...NOPE!
I am truly blessed...NOPE!
I am worthy of good friends and love...NOPE!
I will do this well...NOPE!

Please go away power of detention. Polyanna called, she wants her
rosy glasses back.
