A selective memory.

Life is merely a game. Like a sporting event. You win some. And lose some. It's best, of course, to take it all in stride. Without overly lamenting the losses. And savoring the wins. Unfortunately, I have friends who dwell on the downsides of life. When they'd be better off focusing on the upsides. My off-and-on friend Julie is a negative thinker. Most of the time. Especially when she flirts with depression. And her favorite beverage. She doesn't know how to cope with life's losses. And seldom counts the wins. Oh, life would be so much better. If we celebrated the wins. And forgot the losses. That's one of my attributes. A selective memory. --Jim Broede
