I have just offered my condolences to my sister on the loss of 3 of her friends recently. It seems that all we get anymore is bad news. But, I'm the eternal optomist, and always try to look on the bright side. Someone always has it worse than you do. Just as an example, I was reading an article by Charles Payne, a Wall Street analyst and regular on KFI640 am radio. He wrote up this little blurb on Abraham Lincoln:
Lincoln's Failures and Triumph
1832 Lost State Job
1833 Failed at Business
1835 Sweetheart Died
1836 Had a Nervous Breakdown
1838 Was Defeated for Speaker of the House
1843 He was Defeated for Congress
1844 He lost Re-Nomination
1849 He was Rejected as Land Officer
1856 He was Defeated as Vice President
1858 He was Defeated for Senate
1860 He WON the Presidency!
However, in 1865 he was Assassinated............such is life!
