A more recent one:

I hadn't emailed the relative I quoted in my previous reply for a while, because I had been feeling pretty down and didn't want to be super-negative. When I finally did email, I told her that was why it had taken me so long, and she said this:

"You need never worry about being positive with me...I do not find [having a 'glass-half-empty' outlook] gets in the way of real pleasure but it feels healthier than always straining to look on the bright side."

and also this:
"It is an open secret that I am one of your number 1 fans and I just know that better things are are around the next corner."
