’97 Ford Escort X Better and newer car
Big yard to mow X No yard or very small one to mow
Beginner fisherwoman X Living off the “local” fish
Beginner horseback rider X Competition horseback rider
Dreaming X Dreams-come-true
Dying world X Better and new world
Earth X Heaven
Brown grass Really green grass
(Pretend that the column of X’s is the fence.)
I’m one that likes to be optimistic and I like to look to the future and plan ahead. For instance, I can’t help thinking / day dreaming about my future wedding. I know things / life will be better in five to ten years. If I die within or before that time, I know I’ll be going to Heaven. Either way, I and my life are going to progress.

I like your post because it sounded positive; also, sometimes I feel the same way.
This was very creative, and I like it. It is a great use of imagination.
You did a great job on seeing the glass 1/2 full!
for humans to think about the future. Life would actually seem even more pointless if we didnt feel like we had something better to work for. Its good to try to relax and enjoy the present, though.

optimism works wonders, doesn't it?
Sometimes I feel that way, too; also, that's a good way of thinking positive.
