Maybe since stories need conflict to be interesting, some people feel they need drama or they'll be boring. Or they're scared they'll miss the chance to blame someone for a problem.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks Sherrie, for the boost, for getting me thinking, and for promoting my mom's ideas. Thanks Vivian; I'm going to share your dad's thoughts with my kids. Maggie, thanks for the new word!<br /><br />It's not pie in the sky, it's a circumhorizontal arc!John M 2https://www.blogger.com/profile/15329535842381432088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011133488035315179.post-20468774947500350512009-05-21T09:49:59.124-07:002009-05-21T09:49:59.124-07:00Your positive spirit always lifts me up.Your positive spirit always lifts me up.valerie hobbshttp://www.valeriehobbs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011133488035315179.post-7628002544965828522009-05-21T08:59:52.367-07:002009-05-21T08:59:52.367-07:00thanks, this was nice to read.

Good stuff.<br /><br />Rainbows are the beauty that follows a storm. Not everyone is fortunate to see one, but they are there, as a sign of the good to come. Yeah. Sounds corny. But my dad always told me this whenever I was upset about something, and you know, parents are always right. ;-) Here's to good things for you!Vivian Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11285339307161020541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011133488035315179.post-50849650289912679832009-05-19T18:47:19.080-07:002009-05-19T18:47:19.080-07:00I always think of rainbows as harbingers of good f...I always think of rainbows as harbingers of good fortune.
