When something really good happens it is easy to get carried away.  Suddenly everything looks brighter.  And I do believe everything looks brighter today.  
Still, there's always something in me that kind of tugs against the tide.  I mean, there's still darkness in the world.  And lots of bad shit happens every day too.
I believe we can handle the good stuff and the bad stuff too.  I think that makes me an optimist.  Knowing that good and bad shit is part of our portfolio I guess makes me a realist.
BIFURCATED.
That is our lives.
