It's been a few days but I am back from the in-laws. It was quite the Christmas break. But in it all I realized something. For some reason, whenever something bad happens, we seem to give it precedence over the good.
It was a good trip. We had fun. There were good meals. We saw lots of people. Had a great time at the museum. Saw a few good movies together. But in the midst of it all two minor family incidents happened.
So why is it that everyone is apologizing for the trip? When we left people were sorry for the time we spent there? Why? Why is it that if something bad happens over a four day period we automatically pitch all the good things that happen and focus on the bad?
And it's not just on vacations. I was thinking about it on the way home. We love to focus on the bad. Someone can save hundreds of people's lives, but then we find some dirt on them and we knock them down as far as we can. It's stupid. So from now on, something to think about. Focus on the good and remember when that happens, not on the bad. Don't let that be your lasting memory.
Now I have to stay up really late, getting acclimated for the All-Nighter...
