Not sure I totally agree with this. I am disturbed at certain events--the death or illness of friends, others' bad fortune, plane crashes, 9/11... It's hard to think glass-half-full over certain events.

On normal, go-about-your-life things (bad drivers, too crowded grocery store aisles, long checkout lines, etc.), I agree with you, 2B. You can take a deep breath and be happy for where you are,and just let it go.
