The book talks about an old man who planted an orchard after he retired from his job. He was undaunted even though the people around him said he wouldn’t live long enough to see it bear fruit.
I think that starting projects that are daunting is the epitomy of optimism and it shows optimism and joy in the process and not just in the end product.
Hey, that really matches up with the quote of the day:
“Anyone can cut an apple open and count the number of seeds. But,
who can look at a single seed and count the trees and apples?”

To me, Optimism is all about seeing various possibilities and outcomes and hoping/believing that the best thing will come about.
You are correct! The quote does match the word. Thanks for noticing.
Thanks for reading the Word of the Day. Not sure I can keep up with it on the blog. I am enjoying it, but it is kind of taking over the blog. I suppose I’ll have to post more quilt stuff.
