The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails!

Good morning, Paul... now if that isn't a spot on definition of a pessimist, optimist, and realist, I don't know what is! Happy Monday!

Good morning Paul. I have been adjusting the sails for years and just when I think they are set, it is time for another adjustment. Enjoy your day.

Paul, we have had so much wind here in Denver, we gave up on hairspray.   Pretty much over it!

I had better sell my stock in Proctor Gamble if hairspray is no longer to be used in Denver Joan Cox

Hello Paul and adjusting the sail is what you have to do if you are a good sailor.  Make it a great day!

I learn to sail at an early age but because of time factors I became a power boater Will Hamm

Top of the morning Paul.  Getting ready to walk out the door and figured some thoughtful words from you would get this day started right.  You do not disappoint. lol  Not only wise but a little smile to go along with.  Thx.  Mark

Hi Paul- this is a favorite quote of mine!!!There are times when we may not like a situation but the best we can do is make changes in our attitude and how we handle it.

Sometimes my attitude is easier to adjust than the sails Kathy Streib

I had a conversation with a couple friends today.  And, each of us could have taken a role in that quote.  Unfortunately, I was the pessimist. The conversation was about the direction the country is going!
