finding the balance between blind optimism and dark pessimism

"Optipessimist" cartoon by nakedpastor David Hayward SHOP NOW! > I'm not an optimist. I don't believe I'm in total control of what happens to me. I'm not a pessimist. I don't believe I'm a totally powerless victim. I'm somewhere in between. Things happen and I have some control. I'm empowered to make change. Inside and out. A realist? I like the sound of optipessimist better! Join a whole bunch of optipessimists at The Lasting Supper. Maybe we can help cure what ails you.
