Recently, I started thinking about ALL the misadventures that I have had, that I haven't blogged about... and there have been some doozies. I never blogged about my neighbour going ballistic and blaming me for her broken window pane, which I did NOT break. Nor did I blog about a guy I dated, only to found out he had just gotten out of a rather nasty place! Nor did I blog about the police calling me because the owner of the Husky who tried to kill Vimy a year ago, was upset with me. I had told his neighbours, who are dog owners, that HIS dog was DANGEROUS. Monsieur did NOT like that. He has his NERVE, and all I can say about the police, is that it must have been a slow day at work that day? Nor did I blog about the time I lost my dental appliance, spent a week turning my house upside down, only to accept that it probably ended up hooked on an article of clothing in a bag of clothing I donated to the SPCA for a fundraiser. That misadventure cost me $1200 big ones!! I could go on and on... but I can't remember all the more upsetting misadventures.
I did not blog about the New York City marketing firm that contacted me, wanting to use my review of Vimy's harness, as PR on their website, to help build their client's brand. Vimy was wearing that PUG harness when the Husky viciously attacked him. I am convinced that harness saved his life. Mind you, this is a positive outcome, albeit from a negative incident. Plus I received another wonderful PUG harness, FREE!
It all goes to show that IF I don't think about the really negative misadventures that I have had, they fade away. When I do think back, I realize that most of the details have faded as well, which is a good thing. Plus, you LEARN from adversity. However, when I remember positive misadventures, I can go back, reread my blogs, and smile every time. Smile... and the whole world smiles with you, right?
So great as always.
