Life on Life's Terms
Not as bad as it seems
The Other Ken walked by
and said, "Good morning, time for group." He had missed two days of work with
bronchitis. His rumbling and raspy voice
made me think he should have taken off three more days.
"Are you OK?"
I asked. "Do you want me to run
group?"
"I'm much better
than I sound," he said with a smile.
"Actually, I don't feel that bad."
"You sound
terrible."
"You should have
heard me when I was really sick," he said, holding the door to group room
open for Julie.
Today I will be grateful for things that are
better than they look, sound, or seem.

Smart Bears, Angry Rats
Epilogue I
Olsen and Gretchen had
five children, all girls. They were part
of the first generation to face the new virus, though none of them knew
it. Two of the girls were bitten by rats
while they were rehabbing an old house for Habitat for Humanity. A third daughter's husband survived a bear
attack while hiking. Olsen, a former intelligence officer, never made the
connection between the rat bites, the bear attack, and the difficulty three of
his daughters had getting pregnant.
Today I will accept
that at times I will miss the obvious.
