Two fabulous occurrences this week. Barbie Dreamboat is in the water!!! And even better, Gloria is here!!!! Woohoo! Here she is driving Miss Barbie Dreamboat on a beautiful Maine evening.  More later, after I get her cleaned up (Barbie, not Gloria).

My little Lulu, the boat dog

And, I was reading Martha Beck this morning. She reminded me that we all have the same freedom to find and focus on the meaningful parts of our own misfortunes. That every one of us encounters random events but that we possess a universal ability to create meaning out of suffering. She says we can turn a curse into a blessing, tragedy into heroism, loss into gain. Lucky us.
