Help, I am looking for something, anything.
Last night, I caught a news show about dogs in New Orleans, no sound just images, I couldn't stop crying. There I am, having dinner with Hubby and I am all tears. Not even Venus Williams sparkly outfit could distract me. I don't want to watch the news anymore, it is too sad. Plus, it seems like our government is working overtime to take away our freedom. It seems so hopeless.
I feel guilty about trying to look on the bright side. Is it insensitive to think about what is good in my life right now? I am grateful for every advantage I have, is that smug? Am I a bad person?
Just when I thought all was lost, NPR made my day just a little brighter - California's Senate Passes Gay Marriage Bill! I just hope that Arnie won't veto the bill, yet another unrealistic expectation of my internal optimist.

I am an optomist, too. They say that people retain their level of happiness despite their circumstances after about 6 mo of adjustment. If you're generally depressed - 6 mo after winning the lottery you'll be generally depressed. Happy? Happy 6 mo after losing a leg. Change - even bad change - yields opportunities for good things to happen.

I'm also a terrible speller.
Just to update everyone, Arnold has vowed to veto the gay marriage bill that passed.
