[This word comes from the donkey in A.A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh]
Confession: I have a secret talent for making lemons out of lemonade. It may not be readily apparent. I smile a lot and make cheerful conversation …. But tucked inside me, almost always, is a grumbling Eeyore. That Eeyore is having her moment. The coronavirus is springtime for pessimists. (Jennifer Senior, “In Praise of Pessimism,” The New York Times, 04/26/2020.)
