I'm an optimistic person and don't get depressed anymore.

I do the exact same thing...And it didn't just hit me till like last year to start looking at it that way. I was always hearing Momma all my life saying "eat your food...there are kids in Africa starving" and it finally got to me last year. It really improved my outlook on life. Of course, I have epiphanies like that all the time. This one had to be one of the best epiphanies I've ever experienced.

Be grateful for what you have...
