Reply to comment by kurtfire68 in [Image] My uncle passed a few months ago. Was going through some of his things and found this. Been pretty down lately, but this little poem comforted me. Reminder to try and stay positive. by majorgee
I mean when everything goes to shit and my wife is freaking out about bills, kids, and responsibilities and asks why I'm so calm I answer, "I mean I'm still alive, and I only get one go round so it's not all bad, and we always figure it out." And than she says that's not helpful. I just like to think it's about perspective- could things be better? Sure! But in my line of work I've seen so much bad shit that I just default to it could be worse but let's try to address the issue... and sometimes you find your fucked and can't fix the issue quickly, and that's okay too just keep swimming as it were.

Whenever we have an issue my wife gets upset that I'm not freaking out, as if it means I'm not bothered. Think she finally realizes that, no, I'm bothered, freaking out just won't help anything.
