Dearest Brother Jimmy,

Things ARE worse. Things can ALWAYS get worse. No matter what anyone writes here you have no idea of how their lives truly are and I find it incredulous to think that it has been proposed that we all tiptoe through the tulips and sing about bluebirds when things are bad. Even worse, ask someone to write out what is horrible to them and then to list the good things. Why preface the good with the bad?

Of course things can be worse, for all of us...in the meantime, I'll look to the good instead of the bad then to the good. It is much more productive.
