It's Good To Be King

Okay, I'm going to state the obvious...it has been a difficult week.  I mean, it's bigger than the hedgehog or my divorce from the woman.   I'm personally very worried about all the people who have been hit hard by those vile hurricanes and storms.  And I can't help but think about the animals who are suffering, too.  And then...on top of all that came the horrible attack in Las Vegas.  The woman has to travel to Las Vegas sometimes for her job. If she had been in town I'm certain she would've been at that concert. It all makes me sad. Very sad.And then on top of it, one of my most personal favorite rockers passed away.  I always felt that I had a little bit of Tom Petty in me...you know...that rugged, all-American, tough-guy next door.  The woman was gutted over the loss of our Tom.  I was a bit sad myself...found myself humming some of his songs as I was working on my book. This one in particular kept running through my head...

Before the woman and I separated, Fridays used to be filled with loud music and lots of dancing through the house together. But not any more. I think I'm just going to spend my Friday night listening to Tom Petty and try to think about the good things that we all have to be thankful for...I'm going to write down every single thing that's not bad right at this moment so when I get wrapped up in all the bad things that are going on, I'll be able to pull my list of good things and remember what it feels like to be happy.
