I don't seem to use this journal for much more than getting a hold of other people or complaining about viruses anymore, but a conversation got me thinking about what it means to be positive. I know, it's a trite subject, right? 'The power of positive thinking'. It makes me think of a self-help seminar... But to be perfectly honest, I'm not sure I'd ever accomplish anything if I wasn't sure I would accomplish it. I don't know how or why I developed that mindset or if it was even a conscious decision, but I'm grateful that I have. I can't imagine what would have happened if I'd given up on certain goals...

Don't get me wrong. It's not always easy, and nobody can be positive all the time, but I think it beats the alternative in a lot of cases.

I guess this is why some people have me labeled as an optimist.

(Is he talking about Nozomi? No, it must be a coincidence.) Sometimes it takes people like that for things to get done.

Actually, I was, er... referring to myself. I take it Nozomi is a little persistent, too?

That's putting it mildly. (Komachi says it's what we have in common.) I wouldn't want her to be any different, though.
