Thought of the day

Reinventing yourself sucks. Never stray from what is already obviously a winning formula.

...If you have a losing formula, ignore this post.

A new beginning

Hello, world.

OK, so the world isn't actually looking at this blog, but in an ode to Programming 101, I figured I'd use it, anyway.  Who knows?  Maybe that will change, and I will become a super-famous anonymous blogger whose insightfulness is quoted around the water cooler.  "That Optimistic," someone would say.  "So insightful! I wish I was more like her!"

Well there's a difference between optimism and just plan foolishness, so I'll stop myself there, and continue with the introduction.  Hi! I'm HopelesslyOptimistic (Optimistic for short), and welcome to my blog.  I'm not 100% sure what I want to get out of this process.  I've fancied writing a book, and figured this would be a good start.  I'm also about to embark on the lovely journey of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). So rather that bore my family and friends, I though I'd turn to the "anonymity" of the web.  Of course, the names have been changed to protect the innocent and not-quite-so-innocent.

Truthfully, I've sucked at journal/diary writing in the past, but I always love finding the entries and reading them years later.  So here I go.  I'll tell you more about me as we go along.  Thanks for making it to the end.
