Good News

I don't have any news, but I heard some good news today. A friend got a permanent job. It lit up my night.

It made me start thinking about how we act around people going through tough times. Last year a friend's husband passed, and afterwards, I was afraid to talk about good things in my life. I felt guilty.

I wonder if people also do that to cancer patients. Afraid to share their joy, because of our perceived misery. I can only speak for myself. I like to hear the good. Bring on the good people!

  1. I assume this is me! And I wouldn't dream of keeping the good things from you. That's what true friends are for: to be there through the good & bad. I can't wait for your next good news & I know you'll be there for my next bad news.
