I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else. ~Winston Churchill?

While walking in the neighborhoods in Los Angeles, it’s hard to miss where the fruit trees are. The fruit is usually all over the ground; avocados, limes, nectarines, grapefruits. Los Angeles gives lemons, so make the lemonade.

The remote idea that Winston Churchill could find optimism in any moment is amazing. He suffered from depression…it was a choice for him to get out of bed every morning. He referred to it as his black dog that followed him everywhere. I had three black dogs at one time in my life. I walked them all at the same time with one very long three pronged leash.

Here is a link to an interesting pdf from the black dog institute about the history of the metaphor of the black dog… http://www.blackdoginstitute.org.au/docs/Foley.pdf
