Optimistic, buoyant (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

upbeat

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'optimistic' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'buoyant' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for upbeat that I've seen before include "Promising" , "Conductor's beginning" , "Cheerful and encouraging, like lively music" , "Of mood, cheerful and optimistic" , "Cheerfully optimistic" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
