Message: [QUOTE="bballbeadle, post: 2699263, member: 548"] Okay, first, it was really fun to read your write up. And with this second post, I must say: you are a therapist’s dream! There is a saying, Worry is praying for bad things to happen. Having sad thoughts, or not voicing any positive thoughts, is an old superstition that some cultures have embraced to ward off the evil eye. “If you say it out loud, you will jinx us.” This idea of “appearing reasonable” or not getting “too hopeful” is the standard M.O. of many fans. But like you, I prefer happy expectations. I have bathed in pessimism and you really don’t want to linger there too long. For the last 2 - 3 years I have approached the season with misgivings. We have good reason to be hopeful this season, so why not have fun in the present moment? Therefore, I will join you in your happy musings. Flacusian, you need to read this post! [/QUOTE]
