Good News!

[JustGeorge]

I'm just waking up, and feeling this day could go either way...

So, I wanna push the scales the 'good' way. I wouldn't mind having a decent day today...

Tell me some good stuff. What's going on in the world right now that's good? I don't care where, and I don't care how small.

Diwali is going on, isn't it? That's good.

It ended a couple days ago. But it was fun while it lasted!

Halloween is soon.
It's the best holiday.
- Candy
- Costumes
- No presents
- No dining with relatives

The new British PM may not be a super hero but the pound sterling is strengthening after the last PM almost ruined it.

Here's something else good: I get to work from home today.

This is a positive thing! We even managed to keep the kid's costumes under 20 bucks this year(for two). We're going to carve our pumpkins tomorrow, and pass out candy. Our area moved trick-or-treating to Saturday night, which doesn't work for us, so we'll pass out candy that night, and go trick-or-treating in a city an hour from here on Halloween night.

Glad to hear things are on an upswing...

That is great! What do you do?

Ive just had my Friday back massage. My back is not causing me much discomfort but more to the point... I've just spent half am hour on the couch talking in a jolly tone about death. More precisely, the upcoming day of the dead.

I'm a professor, and I'm working on writing a book, which is what I'll be doing today.

Is the Day of the Dead something you observe?

No, before moving to france I'd never heard of it. First i knew of it was going for a walk, passing through the usually quite graveyard to be met by around a dozen individual parties going on. Food, drink, conversation, laughter etc.

I find it fascinating but don't observe it.

We tried a snack from Costco.
Sugar infused dried anchovies.
They're not as intense dried.
And sugar doesn't improve things.
The good news is that you now know to avoid this product.

Well, as a vegetarian, I'd have avoided it anyways, but I'll put out the word so the rest of society knows.

Who are we kicking?

Its actually sunny here, too. That's been coming and going over the last few days.

I get a 4 day weekend and I'm going on a trip to a part of France I don't know yet. That's the source of my happiness today.

Good news of something better is being declared in all the earth.
It involves the news that God's kingdom is at hand, and submitting to it brings blessing now, and future blessings that will last forever.
