"The sky's not blue, but it's sunny!"

I just said that to one of my co-workers after she said, "Looks like it's clearing up out there." Although this was definitely one of those lame office conversations that usually don't require much thought or provide much meaning to my day, I was intrigued by this quote.

I think it's kind of the quote to live by in the parameters of my life. Given that I have chemical imbalances in my brain that cause me to get obsessive about the "bad" things in my life. I like a quote that doesn't make me feel abnormal for not being able to live by it like, "look at the bright side" and "think of life with a glass half full."
Sometimes those sayings just piss me off..which is not the purpose obviously. I usually just end up feeling guilty that I can't be more of a "bright side" or "glass half full" kind of person.

So, I like my saying..."the sky's not blue, but it's sunny."
It makes me feel ok for recognizing the , "not so great" things about what's going on around me....but it gives me that hint of optimism that I suppose is necessary in life.
