Spending the weekend with Miss Paola reminded me of one of my favorite stories by Taylor Hartman, the Color Code guy. He relates a story of this kind of miserable woman who hated her job and everything and everyone around her until a professor challenged her with an intellectual exercise. That exercise eventually changed her, and he remarked to her, "There are no uninteresting things--only uninterested people."
On the flip side, there's nothing like an interested friend, one who continually tries to understand and support you. Knowing that I have what will likely be an incredibly difficult, long, and stressful couple months ahead of me, I thank you, Paola, for being such an interested friend, one in whom I can confide and on whom I know I can lean. And thanks to the many others of you who are the same. There's nothing like an interested friend to keep you going.
