too Pollyannish these days (I am just so overwhelmingly grateful...
I think this is exactly what will get you through. Not Pollyannish at all. It is too bad gratitude has this layer of Pollyannishness about it when in fact it is a very positive attribute to have. Being grateful doesn't mean clueless or being in denial, I think in fact it is staring the "facts" in the face, acknowledging them, dealing and then getting on with life. IMO of course. :-)
