Before leaving on vacation I paid a visit to a new friend of mine who has just been diagnosed with liver cancer. During our vacation we learned of the untimely passing of my cousin, who ultimately lost his battle with cancer. His wife died a few years ago from a brain tumor, and has therefore relegated the role of guardianship of his two children to one of my siblings. When I came back I received an email about a phenomenal father and husband in our previous ward who died suddenly of a heart attack, leaving three young children and a devoted wife behind.
I could go on and on about all the bad news I’ve been privy to in the last few weeks, but I don’t want to and I don’t think you’re interested. Everywhere I go I’m hearing about the tough economy, unemployment, death, abuse, marital strife, etc. I don’t take any of it lightly, but that’s precisely the problem. I need a break. Surely, amid all the angst and confusion of the difficult things that are happening, somebody, somewhere, has to be having a good day. Are you one of them? I want to know, what good news do you have to share? Have you completed a goal? Taken a bath uninterrupted? Read a book that inspired you? Found a killer bargain? Scored a buy one get one free Hostess cupcake? I want the comments on this post to be dedicated 100% to good news. You are the star. Take the stage!
First week, girl’s camp. Which I LOVE and am always confused by those who don’t. My cup was filled and I got to hang out with some amazing people! Second week I had family in town and one night me and two sister stayed up until 5 AM chatting.
