In his own witty and insightful way, he has described what I think is a very realistic, and human, understanding of what a positive attitude looks like. It’s completely natural for us to be down at times, or not to feel at the top of our game. But, to understand that this is a normal cycle in life, is the key. Further, to know that your “old cat” will return is positive thinking at its best. Look around for a minute. Is your old cat there beside you, or is he on his way back?
