Come on where is the positive in the world
Discussion
Clearly flat champers doesn't agree with me. Now feeling rather morose. A quick flick through the BBC website and the dismal news - Northern Ireland, Mother crusing 2 month old baby, credit crunch rubbish etc....
Is there anything positive in the world? Come on cheer me up with tales of happiness or does it not really exist. Perhaps I don't exist? (and perhaps I shouldn't read Sartre in french either).
EFA can't spell

I was headhunted for a job last week, just waiting on my contract/offer coming through (not sure if I'll take it mind you).
Felt my baby kick in Mrs Hero's belly for the first time tonight.
Sitting drinking a beer on a school night, listening to some chilled music, breathing and healthy, and catching up with PH.
Just away to browse the classifieds to look for an "Estate"

t.Desiderata - by max ehrmann
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.
Take kindly to the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
Max Ehrmann c.1920

Difficult to express.
But yes, so much more good in the world than bad.
The unconditional love of your children.
The oft surprising depth of friendship.
Camaraderie amongst strangers amidst tube delays/traffic jams/failed tills at a petrol station...
The simple joy of a song on the radio that makes you smile.
Knowing you've always got PH if you need to vent.
Embrace the everyday. It's what counts.

160 years ago it took 10 days for a written message to cross the atlantic. Today I was able to hear and watch two men working in the vaccum space, 190 miles above my head, travelling at over 17000 mph on a device the size of a deck of playing cards, not physically connected to anything else.
Never fails to astound me.

Were they very tiny men?'Houstan, we have a problem.....we only have 51 cards in the deck!!'
