I realized today that, I, somehow, have changed into an optimistic person.
I’m thoroughly creeped out right now because I’ve always been a realist, or a practical person, or a pessimist, or whatever you call it…just never an optimist.
This creepy new skin feels kinda nice =)

Hooray! It's crabapple jelly time!
One of the best things about fall other than pumpkin flavored desserts is crabapples!
