Novella

Absolutely, Positively

The next day I got a message from someone saying he had to cancel his registration for one of my trainings.

‘Sorry for the late notice,’ he wrote, ‘but I was in accident and won’t be able to attend.’

A drunk driver had sped through a red light, knocking him off his bike. His right arm had been broken in two places. He’d also broken his collar bone, cracked three ribs, and suffered a concussion.

‘Just glad it wasn’t worse,’ he wrote. Smiley emoji.

‘It seems bad enough!’ I wrote back.

‘I broke my right arm. Good thing I’m a lefty!’ Laughing emoji.

In his shoes, I doubted I’d be so upbeat. I was grateful for the positive example he set.

 

Today I’ll be grateful for people who can find the positive in any situation.
