Good News

[ysabetwordsmith]

Good news includes all the things which make us happy or otherwise feel good. It can be personal or public. We never know when something wonderful will happen, and when it does, most people want to share it with someone. It's disappointing when nobody is there to appreciate it. Happily, blogging allows us to share our joys and pat each other on the back.

What good news have you had recently? Are you anticipating any more? Have you found a cute picture or a video that makes you smile? Is there anything your online friends could do to make your life a little happier?

My 89-year-old Uncle Harvey (“Great Papa” to his grandchildren) is recovering from a bout of severe disorientation and regression that turned out to be due to a meds reaction.

When Dad told me about it, I said “sudden onset means a meds reaction” and I was right. Unfortunately it took the hospital longer. He’s in rehab for a bit; the meds that caused the reaction were to help him with much milder issues like falling and forgetting, so he won’t be able to go back to living alone.

My cousin-in-law Robert has been his steadfast companion through all of this, repaying, in a way, Uncle Harvey moving to be closer when Lauren and Robert were suddenly the parents of triplets and Robert’s depression took a downturn. (Triplets are now 30, older sister is 33? or so.)
