It’s 11 : 11   AM on day 2417 of my journey towards independence and I managed to , pray, have breakfast, read   Jonah 2:6  and learn a new word – Definitions for Pollyanna
(often lowercase).1. unreasonably or illogically optimistic: some pollyanna notions about world peace. Also, Pollyannaish. 2. an excessively or blindly optimistic person.
