About ten years ago, I had an onerous cat. One Christmas this cat peed in the water holder of the Christmas tree and then managed to tip he damn tree over spilling all of the urine tainted water all over the Christmas presents wrapped, oh so carefully,underneath the tree.
I was at first furious, then I grabbed a bottle of wine, went next door to share it with my neighbor. After about 45 minutes of joyous camraderie-I returned home, threw the tree into the woods off of the deck and then sailed the Christmas tree stand as far as I could. To this day I do not know where it landed.
Life is all about attitude. Life can be an onery cat, suck, unfair and just about anything else YOU WANT IT TO BE.
I just read an obituary about a wondrous woman who always chose the bracelet. One Christmas her stove died and her husband made her pick between a new stove and a diamond tennis bracelet. She obviously chose the bracelet and figured if her husband got hungry enough-he would buy a new stove. Attitude? Positive thinking? Common sense? I think it is a combination of all three.
