Look at everything as an opportunity. Don’t dismiss something because it seems small.

Waking up on the Wrong Side of 50 
I am going to share this article with you, since it made me think of you (among others). I would really be interested in knowing what you think about it! I read it a couple of days ago, re-read it last night at a ball practice, and I feel ‘hung over’ in some ways, but in a good way. It’s called The Tyranny of Relentless Positivity. What do you think?

Great article. Here’s my take. I agree that people are expected to be happy all the time, and that’s unrealistic. It’s impossible to always be happy unless you never experience anything at all. We need to feel sad, and stressed and all those things, cause like the article says, to have no emotion is to be dead. But, I don’t see anything wrong with trying to find the positive in any situation. Just like you can’t be happy all the time, you can’t be sad all the time either. Tough balance

Every year I remind my son that Memorial Day is to honor those service members who made the ultimate sacrifice in defending our freedom. I am always shocked at the number of children who think it is merely the unofficial start of summer.
