A Great Confident Booster - Optimism

      Optimism is every where. On a  talk somewhere I heard "When we sleep , how do we know we are going to wake up the next morning" isn't it optimism?. When we see our friends we tell them "see you soon" though we know they are too far from us. Its  another way of feeling optimism.

     I am an optimist, I want to try everything and I tell my heart that everything is going to be OK.When I see little kids in swimming pool, I  feel that the parents are optimistic and started training,isn't it ? So we live every second in optimism without even knowing it. I say even praying to god and asking him for good luck is also an optimistic feeling.

Oatmeal Bread | Wheat Oats Bread

          Oatmeal bread-one more bake made without any bread machine.Off late i am baking at least once a week.This has become my hobby, i tried wheat bread with slight variation adding oats flour to it.Most people add bread flour instead of all purpose flour that too in high quantity.It's not the point in making a healthy bread at home (at least to me).So i used less all purpose flour.It came out really good ,equally good compared to store bought bread.
