Hi Ladies!
Welcome to the Optimism Pays Link Up!
Here's what is going down:
In celebration of fishful thinking's 5 ingredients, I will be highlighting one every few weeks.
Today, is OPTIMISM!
So, there are two ways and win and to participate.
1. Link up below a blog post about optimism... a story, a photo with a caption, your thoughts on it...anything related to a positive outlook.
2. Make sure to refer people back here in that post to vote for you!
3. If you want to play, but don't want to to post, you can leave a comment here with the 2 links you feel best represent optimism.
4. Click the fish in the top left corner (site meter will let me know you did!)
5. As usual all my "followers" get an extra entry.
Oh, and if you use a picture, head on over to Cecily's place and link up to her Friday Photostory...that gets you 2 link ups for the price of one!!
Prize: Those who link up are entered to win a $35 gift card- their choice.
Those who just comment are entered to win a $20 gift card- their choice.
{Those who do both of course get extra entries.. plus, you want to vote for yourself right?}

oh woo hoo I am number one!!!
That makes me so happy!
PS I clicked the fishy and I am a follower chica!
I had such a hard time trying to narrow it down to just ONE post for you. I'm a generally positive person and I had several posts that would have done, but I think I picked the right one. Plus I'm a follower and I'm a big fan of the Fishy!
Hey Mama!
Okay, I think I picked one that has really helped me in the hardest of times. Hopefully it helps other people too.
You know I follow.
I clicked the fishy AND I emailed you.
Oh, and I "VOTE FOR SUMMER!"
I wrote you a little something!
(and I follow you.... and I clicked the fish.... oh, and Lisa rocks)
I had this long post in mind about being positive, but I went with a picture of my Punky & a 'Secret' link instead. Checkin' out the Fishful Thinking mom ambassador...sounds fun!
Jamie :-)
I clicked that delicious fish
I'm a follower :o)
And what the heck - I vote for myself - I have no shame!
I linked up an older post (hope I did it right) about putting a positive spin on things. It's really helped my outlook. Oops, forgot to click the fish - I'll do it now!
Mine is up - it's about WARTS! Yum yum.
I am linked. I am a follwer and it took me HOURS to do my post. (sigh)
Better go add something to my post about needing to have the most popular story....:)
I just stopped by Greedygrace's blog (just lisa, no filler) and I Love her post! I love this idea! I'm coming back to join the fun!!
I wrote a story... what a great idea!
This is a great challenge! I focus on optimism often, on my blog and in my life.
I've collected a series of post on my blog, to view.
Have a great day!
Such a great idea, Tiffany. I loved checking out the feedback you are getting.
It is not my day to post on our blog, so I will instead submit two links that demonstrate my optimism:
1) The upside to blogging:

2) How to make the best out of playdates:
http://3baybchicks.blogspot.com/2009/02/breaking-up-is-hard-to-do.html
We are also a follower.
And I even made a little time to click the fish.

Oh and I vote for myself. XD

http://tattooedminivanmom.blogspot.com/2009/03/optimism-101.html
AND I clicked the fish - which has become quite the habit lately.
Since the title of my post today includes the words "Suck it" and I'm PMSing, I don't think I qualify for the whole optimism thing sooooo....
I vote for TMM. Cause I was mean to one of her commenters. And I want to be forgiven. Plus she rocks.
Tiff, I posted and I'm a follower AND I clicked the fish! So, there! Enter meeeeeeeeeeeeeee, please :)
What a postive uplifting thing to do!
I am so glad to be in a bloggy world with women like you.

I clicked the fish, (did the quiz already over at SITS) left a link in Mr. Linky and vote for me :) haha! Hope I win!
Oh, I'm not sure if it matters but I'm following you too!
TIFFANY-
This is Katie. As in, of Josh and Katie whose marriage you created (and whose wedding you when to last year).
So how do you have this secret blog life I never knew about and how is yours SO much more successful than mine? (kidding. kind of).
But seriously? The world grows smaller everyday.
See you in June.
I've been here before...I'm not always a good commenter, but I love your site. I have a great optimism story that I linked up with. :) Plus, I follow you! :)
P.S. I screwed up the whole link thing and so 38 is not a good link! Sorry...you'd think I didn't know how to use a computer or something! :)
Running crazy with Spring Break, but here's my 100th Post - 100 things for which I am grateful...
http://eminpursuit.blogspot.com/2008/12/oprah-eat-your-heart-out-baby.html
And you already know I worship and follow your optimistic (evidently nice smelling) booty. :-) Em
I like to think of myself as not just a follower, but one of your greatest fans.
As much as I want to vote for myself, I'm going to have to go with Casey with Quilao Triplets.
Linked up with my post about Alaskan Locavore-in the dead of winter it just screams optimism right?
I've added my link, a fun story with photos, and I've joined your blog as a follower. I've also added my story to Cecily's PSF and joined her blog as a follower... I clicked the fish, but regretfully my lil kid is 27 and he and his wife have not blessed me with grandchildren YET, they sure are trying though! :) Oh yeah, I'm also voting for myself, because every now and then I'm selfish like that...
How fun! Compliments don't hurt or cost money. Give as many (genuine)one as you can make people's day!
Loooove the idea! I am now a follower (what took me so long!?) and I pompously vote for Mammatalk (that would be me!).
I vote Daris Day! She is one of the happiest people I know :)
I am so sorry that I missed this. I have been seeing some great stories of around the blogosphere.
I am a follower in hopes of winning!!! I clicked on the fishy too.
I am here to vote for number 42 which is Mamma talk.
I've clicked the fish and I'm a follower :)
My votes go to Angie's Spot... and yours! I just watched that video again... love it!
Okay...so hope I'm doing this right. Wrote a blog, clicked the fish, typed in Mr. Linky, included a photo, linked at Cecily's and put you on my blog. I'm also a follower. And of course I vote for me...I'm brilliant! Haaa
Although I'm sure there is something I forgot. Maybe I should tweet for you too???
http://the--z--spot.blogspot.com/2009/03/thought-of-day.html
I don't want to screw up your post linky thingy, so I am leaving my link here as well....I linked twice, thanks hun!
I totally vote for MEGAN from http://www.justformeandyou2.blogspot.com. She has really gone through some rough times lately but NEVER complains and is one of the happiest people I know!
I wrote a post that fits right in to this theme. I am linked and a follower. Now I will click the fish.
This is exactly what I needed to do this morning. I'm just sad I didn't find this earlier this weekend. Thanks for this! I have clicked the fish, I'm a follower, and now I have the blog post written. Oh! And I sent you an email, too. Have a great week!
PS--can I vote for myself, too? Go Lolli! LOL
Ok, I'm in! I am a follower of yours, I have clicked the fish,and wrote my post.
I usually don't like to vote for myself, but for the sake of remaining optimistic about my chances of winning, I vote for me! :) Thanks a ton!
OOOPPPPPSSSS! I thought I was commenting..but accidently entered!
You can take me off if you want..lol!
I'm voting for #8
Natalie gets my vote. Not feeling too creative or optimistic today
I'm leaving a link...hopefully it can be an older post! :0)
My vote goes to Take a nothing day... with Yellow Shoes.
Love this idea. My vote goes to Natalie!! Love her insight and her ability to touch me with words.
I vote for Lolli!!! (#49) She just saved the day by posting exactly what I needed to hear on a day like today! Definitely needed a little extra optimism today. (And PS the baby is mine! :)
Natalie gets my vote - she always gets me thinking, and today it got me thinking optimistically!
Go Lolli, love her!
Here are my two links, I clicked the fish, but I also want to give a vote to Lolli @ Life is Sweet's for her optimism post:)
