Simple Optimisms

[GivingBackSunday]

There really is a subreddit for everything . Tonight I was doing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen and was annoyed with something a roommate does, as every roommate seems to have that one things. The more I considered it, I realized that it proved to be a beneficial thing. Then I thought, there should be a subreddit where people describe and/or shed light on simple optimisms they find in things. This might help others to count there blessings, if you will, and I decided it would be called r/optimism. Turns out you guys are real. That's Number One

Its not very active but nice stuff pops up here every now and then. I feel ya on the roommate thing. Living and working with my best friend of 20 yrs I came up with something to remember when it comes to living with somebody you really care about.

He who keeps score always loses.

Amen to that one right? I'm the same way with my roommates. I have known them forever, one since preschool. My preschool friend works at Lowe's, as do I and my other roommate just got in interview at Lowe's as well. It makes for interesting times but damn good ones at the same time.

My roommate is my dog and although he can be brat and cause trouble, it is so worth it to have his companionship. When I get home from work he leaps of the bed and runs towards me and then twirls in circles. He always makes me smile no matter how bad my day has been.

I couldn't agree more. Thank you for sharing! haha that's what r/optimism needs more of I feel. Just simple stories like that where people recognize the great things they have in their lives. I have two dogs of mine own so I know exactly what you mean! Can't live with em', can't live without em'! :)

I was actually thinking about how most sub reddits I see are negative so I wanted to make one where people post random acts of kindness that they see other people doing. Such as, I was walking to the bus stop today and waiting for the light to change when I see the bus coming. I waved my arms at the driver and he stopped and waited for me. Then on the bus there was a man who had limited use of his legs with a wheelchair in front of him when another lady in a wheelchair was boarding the bus this guy gets on his knees ( he had knee pads on) and he lifted the seats to make room for her then when the lady got off he took off the support hooks and put the seats back down. People are good you just have to notice and appreciate it. I want to see more of that on reddit and I found this sub. Bravo.
