Summary

So many bad things have happened to me lately. From an unexpected medical diagnosis to a roof collapsing beneath me.Bad things are happening to you as well with fuel, food and rent/mortgage prices spiraling out of control. And it looks like the pain is only just beginning.So how can I say 'It's a Good Day'?I think the day was 'good' before we arrived into it. And when bad things happen, that creates a tension between what the day is (good) and what we experienced (bad).I don't think pain itself grows you. It just causes trauma. But the tension that exists there does build character.In this case, falling through a roof has led to the completion of one of my books - it came out fast after hospital. Maybe brain injuries are creative catalysts.It's a Good Day.
