you hit the target with that statement.

i've had some ups and downs lately
and the bottom line is my attitude toward life.

just got my handicap parking permit application from my general practitioner.

do i feel sad i'm handicapped
or glad i'm getting my own parking spot at work?
both are natural
just can't get overwhelmed by the negatives and sense of loss.

i'm also staying hopeful that someday
i'll get some stem cells that work as well as they have for you.
