You know sig, I'm annoyed by positive thinking too, but I did have to adjust my attitude for the better. I wouldn't say I assumed the worst, but I definitely did a lot of worrying about the worst. Now if I spent a lot of time dwelling on the worst, I'd be a wreck, because the worst is just too awful. I need to try not to assume best or worst case, and stay in the here and now, and remember I *do* have a good chance of a good outcome as well.
