As we know Ms. Karma is as shrewd as she is relentless. I bow in gratitude when negative life events happen (especially as I enter my 60's - an age to many of our rainbow family will never experience).
Setting the stage by sharing your mishaps tenderized us a bit. Folks comments reflecting the need to update their glass prescriptions - a positive ripple of your crushed glasses.
Totally agree with Ann Litts wit and wisdom. Steering clear of a desire to be the change you seek - while daunting - created the roux for this post. Net result - you continue to be the change our world so dearly needs.
As always bowing in gratitude for your savory balance of wit and wisdom . . . .
