The Best with the Worst

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" That Newton quote completely and utterly sums up my day.
The action, in my analogy, was Dakota's first day of Kindergarten. It was something that brought such joy to my life, seeing my little boy so happy and proud of being a 'big boy', and how well he did. He was pretty much beaming all day, and had so many stories to tell of his new adventure. Evidently, the universe, in keeping with the balance of all things, felt the need to also bestow on me some misfortune today. I keep with me the satisfied knowledge that all the unfortunate events of today have NOT been enough to overwhelm the euphoric feeling I have been carrying. So to the universe, I say "HA! nice try," for it is only 30 minutes till a new day. Merely half an hour until the balance of all things is reset, and once again good and bad will battle for control on equal footing.

To my so-called friend, who is once again speaking with, and advocating for a convicted child abuser, I say: "Too bad you're so desperate for friends that you'd go down the path of the damned for attention! Although it upsets me, it will not break me, I have no need for friends who abuse kids OR those people who would willingly associate with them"

To the father of the little boy who is in the loving and caring embrace of his grandmother, I say: "You haven't been around since he was an infant. He does NOT know you, nor did you ever care about that before now, he is no more your concern now than 4 years ago when you let his mother take him away with no further contact. He's in a loving and supportive environment beyond your wildest dreams, so BACK OFF"

To Patrick Swazye, taken far too soon by a disease that is possibly the number one evil, I say: "I am glad you are no longer suffering, no longer fighting a losing battle, and are at peace. I will continue to cherish the work you did, and dream about that which you could not accomplish in your short life"

And finally, to my dryer, who chose TODAY of ALL days to stop blowing hot air completely, I will say this: " The only thing today (and last night) which should CEASE blowing hot air, is/was Kanye West, YOU on the other hand, have only given me 4 years of service, and are leaving behind the endless laundry of 3 kids, two step kids, a workaholic and a desperate housewife. However, if you think this is the easy way out, you are wrong, because, dear dryer, you are STILL UNDER WARRANTY!"

Take THAT, universe!
