Sunny

When I was in high school I did a lot of babysitting.  One night I was being driven home by the dad of a family I sat for.  He told me that the most important thing in life was to be positive and surround yourself with positive people.  I've always remembered that conversation.
Personally I have always tried to be positive.  I may be sarcastic but I always think that no matter how bad things get they are always primed to get better.
I live with a Negative Nellie.  He's a Moaning Minnie.  He's a glass-half-empty kinda guy.  Today the weather is sunny and hot (and really quite lovely).  But Paul is on edge.  He says it just reminds him that fall is almost here and the weather won't be pretty for long. 
He has begun to stress about where we are going to go when the lease is up in December.  Now, I thought we had sort of figured that out already but he is thinking and restrategizing the plan.  I am just happy the sun is out.  December is December.  It is only September (and just the beginning of September at that!).  Now I do understand that a little planning ahead never hurt anyone but I refuse to get upset about what may or may not happen between now and then.
Why can't he be happy NOW?  When he does get a rare positive day he is full of clever ideas and has a smile on his face.  Unfortunately he goes to bed and wakes up fretting about having spent a whole day being happy.
I don't know what to do with that attitude.  I want to be positive and believe everything will be absolutely fine.  Even if things get tough I figure they get tough for some good reason and something great will come from it. 
Maybe it's good to have a balance.  Maybe I'm being counter-weighted by his negativity.  Perhaps it's a yin-yang thing?  Maybe it's fate saying "get out and find yourself someone who can see good and happy things!"  Who knows?  I just wish I had some more positivity around on a regular basis.  We've been spending alltogether too much time exclusively in each other's company.  I can feel myself sinking into some sort of dark pit if I'm not careful.  That would not be good at all.  We can't be Mr. Doom and Ms. Gloom.
So send positive vibes this way for now.  I'll send them back!
