The “waiting for moderation” just means that one of us looks at all the comments before posting, just in case they are spam, like ads for poker games or something more colorful. This is common practice on many blogs. It doesn’t imply anything at all about your message which was a lovely (and positive) comment. I agree the world could use more Pollyanna's. The ability to look at things optimistically is a big contributor to our sense of well-being and our belief in our ability to get things done -- as well as makes us all much more pleasant and uplifting to be around. Positive attitudes create energy; negative ones drain it away from not only the "perpetrator" but those around him/her. Psychologists believe, based on cognitive and positive psychologies, that you can learn to be more optimistic and reap all the benefits that brings. Check out Seligman's "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1400078393?ie=UTF8&tag=rutledgeinsti-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1400078393" rel="nofollow">Learned Optimism.</a>" Thanks!
