Practical optimists are problem solvers. They look for solutions and learn to act when necessary.

I love that.

Interesting perspective. I had primarily only classified people into two different camps--the Polyannas and the Debbie Downers. Turns out, I realized that I myself maybe a Practical optimist--who knew? Thanks Tracy once again for your thought provoking and insightful take on life.

Thanks Ray for reading and commenting. I'm glad this helped you look at things in a new way and consider a 'third 'camp.' I'm always interested in different perspecties and I hope the ideas of practcal optimism help others on a path of well-being.
