If You Thought Your Day Was Bad...

Just when you thought you were having a bad day...remember it could always be worse. While I have been incredulously lamenting the unbelievable requirements of what one has to do to establish birth date in absence of what is considered an appropriate government issued birth certificate I had a conversation that reminded me that it can truly always be worse. (OK, that really was a totally run on sentence, and yes, I still call myself a writer!)

Anyway, as I was talking to a friend about another several-steps-required-involving-DMV he agreed when I said, "No matter how bad it gets, it can always be worse" and he said, "Yes, you should see what just happened outside my window, there is a fender bender involving three cars, there is a police car and wherever they were rushing to get, well, now it isn't going to happen anytime soon." I suspect all three of them who bing bang boomed into one another were all on their cell phones.

So immediately I asked Tom if he could take a photo and email it to me, showing how it could be worse.

Hey, notice the Precious Moments in the foreground? How ironic!

So while I am still trying to gather documentation in lieu of a birth certificate, heart aching over my adult son, recovering from lack of sleep due to United Airlines fleet of planes that all seemed to need mechanical servicing the day I was travelling, and friends and family having numerous needs that only I seem to be able to meet, I was reminded to see the positive in the situation, understanding it could always be worse.
