I certainly hope today is better than yesterday. I broke my late daddy's cup, school was cancelled, took dd to work with me and someone abandoned a black lab puppy in the work parking lot. DD played with it, got covered with mud, and then found it a home. Had to clean her up on lunch hour. Went to the bank, took out $50, picked up DD some lunch, went to the post office and since my ankle is in a boot cast and we had snow and ice, she goes into post office for me. Old lady takes her coin purse off the counter while she is putting on stamps so we are out $38.00. Go to the tournament ball game, and dd goes in, we are winning, fouls another little girl, and we are tied at the half. We end up losing by 20 points, etc. Also problems that made me make 3 trips down stairs at work to basement server. I hope to goodness I never have another day like I had yesterday. Being an optimist, I had to try and find something good about the day. DD and I discussed it and we decided last night the best thing about the day was that it was finally over! lol!
So today, after I buz through 12 hours of tax clients, I plan to blog some books and then work on my latest synopsis. Today has got to be a good day!
I hope you have the best day ever!
Wow MJ
I have to agree with you that one of the rare good points is that the day is over
as for the lady who stole your $38, the bad karma will prevent her from getting any real good out of it
and
while it's frustrating and annoying for you to lose money you can't
particularly afford to lose, personally I think it's better to see good
in people and assume they'll be honest than to automatically distrust
everybody because of a few dishonest abnormal people
and remember the world is a sphere, what goes around, comes around
your
optimism will bring good back round to you, and unfortunately for that
woman, her dishonesty will bring bad karma back round to her
I know which of the two of you I admire most, and which I feel most pity for (and in the latter case, it's NOT you
- you don't need pity, you're an optimist 
)
Hugs and fond thoughts for a brighter day

Optimism
That would be thinking that the old lady thought it was HER change purse.

Thanks!
I hope it is a good life lesson for DD and I am working hard to forgive and not be so aggrivated about it happening.
hope it gets better. I
hope it gets better.
I hate days like that. I was flooded ou of my apt. years ago and my boss at the time gave me some money to help me out rigfht afterwards. I went to help an elderly neighbor walk back into her apt next to mine among the debris. In the space of 5 minutes, I had someone sneak inside my apt, find my purse and take out that money. No one else was in the entire mud strewn and mold infested complex other than an upstairs neighbor whose apt was not even affected by the flood. How someome could do that to a neighbor, seeing the devastation of he complex and live with themselves afterwards I will never know.
I do hope it gets better. I have days like that sometimes.

(((Paisley))) That is horrible! People never cease to amaze me. I know sometimes I worry if I do enough to help others and then you hear of things like that and it makes you feel you are on the right track. And bless you for helping the neighbor. I know what goes around comes around, but man, it still makes it a struggle doesn't it?
My step-son was in a wreck once and someone stole his wallet while he was unconscious, strapped in the car, awaiting an emergency squad.
People never cease to amaze me either
but sometimes in good ways
Like my aunt who forgot the money
she'd just gone to the cash machine for, and the honest lady who used
it after her, who gave it in safekeeping to the nearest store so that
when my aunt went back, it was there waiting for her
And
the time I lost my last fifty euro (on holidays on a budget) and when I
rang the store, they hadn't got it but later on the cleaning lady found
it and they phoned me up
Despite what they'd like us to think, dishonest people are NOT the majority
Off to work

I agree!
I agree honest folks are the majority, and what happened was a healthy reminder. I am totally broke until payday so he was to dip into dd's savings, but thank goodness we had that!
