Let’s say there is a silver lining under every adversity. Just go with me on this one. Now think what it might be like if your home was destroyed and the city you love was under water and the government that you depended on and supported all your life was ineffective and indifferent and your marriage was strained and your friends and family were dispersed, but wait there’s more – you found yourself in Arlington Texas in a “corporate apartment” in a compromising situation and your stomach was a snake pit of worry anxiety depression fear.

You following so far?

Now fast forward six years later and you are preparing for a gala to support the historic bridges that cross the bayou that are in front of your home that you built with your own ingenuity and effort that is now occupied by guests who by product of your imagination are going to help you keep said house after navigating the rougher waters of the corporate spring you found yourself in.

And yet twice you didn’t drown.

And you realize at some point that none of the things you had wished for have come to fruition in the way you visualized. Then you get the items ready for the silent auction and you put an extra blanket on your son because the morning is chilly and you greet your partner and pour your tea and sit at the copper top table your talented neighbor has improvised and you think to yourself first, I forgot the birthday candles and next, what a wonderful world.
