Somewhere along the line I think I went from an openly optimistic person to a realistic person and now worry I am verging on pessimistic at times - is this a sign of age? or environment? or something more sinister? I think (well, I hope) I am still an optimistic person at heart and that in due course I will work out how to overcome all the other stuff but in the mean time I thought this badge was a good reminder.

I know what you mean - I was always a glass half full type of person. Now I'm a mostly glass half full type of person with a backup plan just in case the glass actually is half empty. (Or a bit more realistic, in other words!)
I think some of it is age (I prefer the term wisdom) and some of it is environment. But I don't mind, I think it's a good way to be and it means you get the best of both worlds.
Yes. Being optimistic can sometimes be difficult in the daily grind of raising smalls.
A worthy goal.
