Being sick is a good thing

[clef0628]

I have been very quietly reading all your replys to what happened to The World Trade towers. They are all very touching. I have to say for the frist few days I was mostly in shock. But, now I feel saddness. Lots of it. And anger too, I never been much of a fighter, I chose to use words instead of frighting. But, all I can think of lately is where is my gun so, I can get these people behind this. I did not even lose anyone yet, I still fell so upset about it. I did nearly lose someone. Thank the Goddess, we got lucky. My aunt worked at the World Trade towers. Last week she got ill and had to go to the hopitial. She is now getting better at home, but because of this she was a home on Tuesday in bed instead of at work. So, the sickness just may have saved her life. Kinda of weird how being sick can turn out to be a good thing.

This is a story told to me by a hippie chick boss I had years ago. It is sooooooo true.

One day, the Chinese farmer's horse ran away from his farm. All of the villagers gathered at the farm and said, "Oh, what bad fortune!"
The farmer said "Good fortune, bad fortune, who knows?"
A few days later, the horse returned, bringing with him a beautiful female horse. All of the villagers gathered at the farm and said, "Oh, what good fortune."
The Chinese farmer said, "Good fortune, bad fortune. Who knows?"
The female horse kicked the farmers son, breaking his leg. All of the villagers gathered at the farm to say, "Oh what bad fortune."
The Chinese farmer said, "Good fortune, bad fortune, who knows.

The next day, war broke out in China, and the son could not go.
