Well, thank you, @dswigle. Right person or otherwise, it's been on my mind, and I'm glad to be of service, if it helps. :)
Truth to tell, I like to call myself a realist. If done properly, as best as one can, it tends to lean towards positivity, because the possible outcomes are generally mitigated to some degree. If they're not, there really wasn't much I could do about it, anyway.
It is tough to be always up, and always down, and in my case, I get tired of thinking about being either for very long. :) Float me somewhere in the middle on a gentle rise! :)
Oh, and, thanks for the tip.
