I'm a subscriber to the online Diary of Samuel Pepys. The diary of course provides insight into the finer details of everyday life in seventeenth century London and all the usual things for which it has been glorified. But my favorite aspect is that practically every entry prefaces with the word "up" to reassure the reader that the author actually got up that day. How's that for optimism? It's like beginning every journal entry with the affirmation "I'm alive!"
