I have enjoyed every moment, even if some of the moments haven't been super-cool.
Even in the hospital, time and again, I was like, "how freaking lucky I am". But I can rationalize like crazy, so it's easy for me to think, "it can always be worse". Thus I'm always grateful, even when things suck. Not that it doesn't make things not-suck, but still, it helps. Takes the edge off, I guess. Really tho, I look back at myself holding my wee one on the hospital bed, she being near death, and me being pretty happy (or something like that... "happy" doesn't quite convey it), even so. Emotion is such an interesting deal. :Den -- He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?
