Today I moved. A friend of mine who I don't see often, helped me move. While we were in the apartment (for maybe a half an hour) his truck was stolen. There are many reactions you might expect out of a person when that happens. Anger, extreme frustration, panic, ... oh any number of those feelings. And I expect he felt them all. But he kept his composure and his head about him and after calling the police finished helping me move. In the middle of this he told me he was looking for the silver lining. I can't remember what he said it was, and I know it was difficult. But he found one.
I want to be one of those people.
I could do the old thought new thought thing. But I think that says it all.
