Constipation

It used to be that any time something "bad" happened like:
-finding a fly in my coffee.
-a flat tire.
-a toilet tank exploding and causing water to leak throughout the house.
-finding dog poop in the house.
-discovering a hole in the plastic bag I am using as a glove to pick up the dog poop...
the phrase I always used to look at the "bigger picture" was:
'it's not cancer'
I am now looking for a new mantra.
Any suggestions?

While I am thinking, here's a backlog of pictures.

Kids last days of summer.

Two surprise visits.

Tina Padua and Tim Aquino.)
