bestPESSIMISM?

It is a rather cool and gloomy Tuesday morning here to my end, my fellow users of this site. How was your Monday? I will resume my duty this afternoon, so my sister will be left alone until my son comes home at 5:45 PM. Right now too, our television is set on a local channel where we are watching the weather news; it was announced that the typhoon Paeng is gaining strength but is moving away from my province. Of course I feel glad that hopefully we will be spared of the rains, winds, and gustiness of the typhoon, and that is what we should thank God for. My sister however, is showing antagonism again. Instead of hoping for the best, she contradicts the weatherman and says, “what if the typhoon changes course and hits us again instead?” I kept on telling her to hope for the best but she also keeps on saying “what if?” My optimism should not be defeated by her pessimism. I am trying to not have discussions with her because I do not like to always point out my ideas and opinions to somebody who would not listen to me. Later, she told me she will burn the dry leaves ‘because it WILL rain this afternoon’. I told her there may be some students and employees who would not want to smell ‘smokey’ going to their schools and offices respectively, but she insisted to burning this morning. I therefore told her I will do the burning. Oh, it is so hard to have discussions with somebody older than you!
