A very well-timed reading of this news article (Recession Diary: From Mom's Home To Their Own) put me in an optimistic mood for the day. The thing that touched me the most:
"I feel that I have been a better father than I ever thought I would be," Dan said. "Because I just feel like everything in our lives - it's beyond my control, but what is in my control is relationship with him and his care. And that's the one thing I will not let anyone tell me I can't do."
This relates to a few conversations I had yesterday about good parenting and, more specifically, fathers. There aren't that many Good Fathers in the world today and even fewer in the narrow spectrum of my view. That little tidbit halted my downward, mopey spiral into the "Everything goes to shit" zone, which has been threatening me since Friday night.
