Maybe grateful was stretching it... Even as I typed that last night I was searching for the payoff.... Maybe in some sort of "Boy Named Sue" kind of way?

Nietche comes to mind. "That which does not kill you...."

The polished coin is a sunny side.

For me, carrying resentment only makes me angry.... if I can find a way to choose optimism and make a mental effort to redirect my thinking towards it, it acts as an alchemy towards all the associated thoughts and memories.

Gratefulness is the highest state of emotion I've ever experienced.
