A Catalog of Optimism

Human kindness still exists (even in the airport)

Jan 25, 2024

Air travel is always a delight for me because I own a private jet and am so slender that my giant belt buckle doesn’t hurt my abdomen at all while I sit for several hours in a row. And I’ve never even heard of airplane hair! (*Source*.)

Dear Friends,

You would expect something as miserable as air travel to confirm your pessimism about the dreadful state of the world.

Yet when I flew across the country recently, I was surprised to experience something entirely different (despite the fact that yes, it was uncomfortable and yes, there were delays).

What reasons for optimism have you come across lately? Share them in the comments, and let’s revel in the goodness together!

Enjoy!

Wow, this makes air travel sound simply quaint! It’s lovely when the reminders to stay positive stack up like this. Thank you for sharing!

This made me smile! It also shows you how much drama is stirred up on the news to make things seem so much more dreadful (obviously not dismissing the awful things occurring, but I think you get my point here)..and it really is that most people are just trying to get through their lives with as much as kindness as they can offer.

Also your comment on that photo gave me a good laugh.. my stomach hurts just looking at that buckle 😂
