		<description><![CDATA[[Note: This is the optimistic sequel to my challenging week in teaching post "I’ll Show YOU the Meaning of a Grawlix!"]

I think Marcus Aurelius said it best, "The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it." This meditation shows me the way through more dark alleys of life than almost anything else (maybe my wife's cookies help too). You can't stop the world from changing as a whole, but you can control how you react to whatever changes come your way. This has been my operative philosophy of life for a long time, and it has never steered me wrong. Maybe you're not one to "think positive!" or "put your bright side out!" Some of us do just find getting dressed each morning without our smiles, but how can you really expect to see any kind of shift in what comes your way, if you are working constantly to convince yourself that you are, in fact, doomed to be where you are.]]></description>
