Good and bad can happen simultaneously. Even in the same event. So much is in our perspective.

The bad thing is still hard – loss of job, accidents, illness – those are real. And they are hard.

At the same time, there is goodness. The care and concern of those around you. The sunrise as you drive to the hospital in the wee hours. You discover a new favorite food in a food package someone sent. You strengthen a skill you never knew you had or needed. You make new friendships.

Sometimes you have to look for it. For the good in the bad. For the happy in your sad. For the gain in your pain.
