It's interesting that so much good news and bad news come together. Maybe it's the silver lining philosophy at work. Previously, I talked about my flat tire, and finding a brand new, full-size tire in the truck.
But in the last few days, I called my dad and step-dad (for Father's Day), and got good and bad from them as well.
Dad has been diagnosed with diabetes (bad news), but as part of it has lost over 50 pounds (good). He says he was 281 when Katrina hit, and is now under 225.
Ted's kidneys have stopped working, so he now goes to dialysis three times a week (bad), but he too had lost over 50 pounds (good).
And Lesa, while the cancer is certainly considered bad, has been able to spend a lot of time re-evaluating her life and priorities, and feels a lot better because of where she's ended up.
Now, if I could find the silver lining with my job situation, I'd be a happy camper. I'm reading Atlas Shrugged (by Ayn Rand; I'll post a review later), and it seems very similar to my situation - people who refuse to think for themselves, and instead try to live off the brains of others... I'm sure I'll talk a lot more about this later.
