She now sleeps the sleep of the Angels......
She was an optimistic pessimist.

Fatima10, as opposed to a cautious optimist?
J.L. Nobody~
I wished it could be said: a cautious optimist.
Have to stay with optimistic pessimist, or was it a pessimistic optimist?
Does it matter? In the end, we are, after all, dead as dead can be. Now there is some of my optimistic pessism blossoming.

dust
Osso, Now she's dust.
Fatima, pessimistic optimist is what I meant by cautious optimist.
How about this: "Here lies JLNobody aka doornail"?
Naw.
I was out there once.
Now I'm in here.
No more worries
No more sweat
If you got 'em, smoke 'em. You lucky people
OK, on the cautious.
And I was going to say "Dead as Doornails"...but it would be irreverent.
So maybe,
"DEAD AS DOOR NAILS"
is it for me!
Fatima, I have used this quote before in other threads, but still love it, and think it would make a good epitaph:
"A pessimist thinks things couldn't possibly get worse,
An optimist knows they can."
Thank You for the Chuckle
CavFancier~
Thank you for the great chuckle.
I have not heard that expression before.
Sorry about the waffling, but an Optimistic Pessimist, is what I am then!
IF, that statement is true?
{Too funny, nevertheless!}
Thank you.

optimism
Cavfancier, perhaps my logic switch is broken, but shouldn't it be:
An optimist believes that things couldn't possibly get worse;
A pessimist knows they can.
Here I lay broken hearted ,paid my dues and dearly departed.
Don't rest your laurels on my stone
And most assuredly, don't use it as a throne
Don't mourn me please, don't be broken hearted
Oh whats that smell??? Oh, I just farted!!
Sorry I was reading some of the posts on this thread and It just came to me LOL
On a more serious note:
There but for the grace of GOD, I go.
JL, I think it's actually funnier the other way around...what with the 'upside' being knowing that hey, sure things can get worse, what are you worried about? I might add, the qoute is actually from a soldier's joke in the movie 'No Man's Land', about the war in Yugoslavia. I thought it was priceless.
or, There for the grace of god, I went.
It's probably going to be one of the following:
"What's that smell?"
or
"Over one million served, though wife would have been glad if he could satisfy one"
Gravediggers Stone: I told you I couldn't , because I am buried with my work.
Boy, this place is sure dark.
We have a family grave stone that says "In the end it is the journey." Good for a Taoist, but written by my sister for all of us. I guess if I could have more, it would be "Great Loves Live On" which I shamelessly stole from someone else.
