Definition courtesy GuruNet:
see through rose-colored glasses:
Also, look through rose-colored glasses.
Take an optimistic view of something, as in "Kate enjoys just about every
activity; she sees the world through rose-colored glasses," or "If only
Marvin wouldn't be so critical, if he could look through rose-colored
glasses once in a while, he'd be much happier." The adjectives rosy and
rose-colored have been used in the sense of "hopeful" or "optimistic" since
the 1700s; the current idiom dates from the 1850s.
There ya go. My good deed for the day.
