Pity Party


It is one of the reasons I love her so much.

We share a common lens.

Because when this friend learned that an implanted device failed and that a painful complicated surgery awaited her, she did not invite me to a pity party.

Instead, she invited me to a celebration.

She said things could be so much worse—and that the overworked device had afforded her ample service.

I wholeheartedly agreed.

And while our positive mindset may be construed as odd or lacking sympathetic notes, we see it as practicality.

For us, falls hold less import than resurrections.

Problems are merely un-thought-of solutions in disguise.

And pity is just not our idea of a party.
