Life is good, even when it isn't.

I was going to do a entry about how good life is.  I feel really good today and it seemed like a good thing to talk about.  But as I was also thinking about updating everyone on things going on around here I thought "well everyone else won't see life as being good in this stuff."  But you know considering how bad it could be life is good.

Updates:
Aunt Betty does have a small spot on one of her lungs that is cancer.  We are waiting for the doctor to decide when he can do the operation.  Good: it is a small place and the doctor feels confident that he can get it.

Aunt M is doing better.  She was in the hospital because of some blood clots.  The doctor sent her home but she is either supposed to lay down or stand up, no sitting except to eat.  Good:  she is home from the hospital and Uncle N is having to wait on her for a change.

Dad had a head CT this past Monday and goes a week from Friday to some kind of specialist.  Good: If the CT had showed something really bad then surely a doctor would call and get him in before next week.

My niece is pregnant, again.  She is supposed to go one day this week to see if she can get her little boy back.  They don't have money for the rent and may get evicted.  Good: I hate to say it but since there is no income and maybe no place to live the little boy may not get to come home.  He has really thrived since being taken away so maybe it is good that he may not get to come home.  SS are watching my niece closely with her being pregnant again.  This is good for her unborn baby.

Yeah, life is good.  It could be worse.  I feel good today.  Lets celebrate life!

You have such a wonderfully upbeat attitude!  It's very refreshing and I hope it rubs off on me now.  BTW, this graphic you've found is absolutely stunning and I can't wait to peruse the website.  ¤Holly

I was raised to believe that there was no such thing as bad luck.  My mama always said 'no matter how bad things are, just know that they could have been a lot worse so you should be thankful that they are not!'.  I try to pass that philosophy on to my children, but of course that makes as much sence to them now as it did to me when I was younger.  Its true though, there is no bad luck, just some luck that isn't as good as others.
