I am having a bad week. I won’t go into great detail as to why, frankly because there is nothing you can do about it. Suffice it to say I believe the only person who is having a worst week than me is the person who is contributing to my bad week in the first place………..so I think there is something to learn from this. However wonderful we might think we are, we are all going to experience low times. The low times may be a function of something you did, something someone did to you, or just that good ol’ standby, “It just ain’t my day”! Regardless of the reason, when you are experiencing one of THOSE days, it is absolutely necessary to avoid “passing it on”. I didn’t start out thinking this was going to be a bad week, but a bad week it is, so I have to realize if I am going to stop it here, I have to realize that I have an obligation NOT to make it my sole objective in life to let everyone know that I am in a bad mood, a bad place, and a bad time. So, you might ask yourself, why in the hell are you telling everybody about it on Facebook? It is simple really. I need to be positive right now because I could very easily let my mood infect the mood of others (just like the person did with me this week…..He was not having a good week, he was not enjoying his days, it was apparent his one goal was to make me equally miserable, and, DAMN IT, I am not going to let him.) So here is a list of the good things that have happened this week to me: 1. I had dinner at my daughter’s house last night. She made pulled pork sandwiches, and she made enough so her dad could take some home. I love spending time with my daughter because she is funny, witty, and wise, and she is a good cook……..we had a good time, I needed the break, and it was fun…….Thanks, Caitlyn and Karen, for your hospitality. 2. I had an hour long conversation (at least) with my sister on Tuesday. When my sister and I talk there is little we don’t talk about, and everything I hear from her is valuable. There is always a nugget of advice worth panning, and found gold worth treasuring. 3. I have been reading everything I can read and watching everything I can watch about US VS. Nixon. I know I lived through it all, and it certainly doesn’t seem like 40 years ago, but I enjoy watching the history and learning more about it nonetheless. 4. My law partner is off on his annual trip to Sturgis, South Dakota. He is a motorcycle enthusiast. He needed the break, we needed the break from each other, and he sounded a whole hell of a lot better when I talked to him today…….We even agreed on our view of some things. 5. I saw a picture on Facebook of Red and Bick…two old Union City friends…..the two of them got together, played golf, and it looked liked THEY had a great day. Not a long list to be sure, but the mere listing of the good things and remembering family and friends makes me feel a whole lot better. So to my gentlemen friend whose one object seems to have been to make me mad, unhappy, frustrated, worried, sick and tired……………………YOU LOSE!!!!!!
