A day of positives and negatives equals what -- not a zero -- life isn't math. Although zeroes are what happened on
Jeopardy the other night. Apparently, it was only the second time that all three contestants finished up with a total of zero dollars. Bye bye was the negative message they got. Out the door with them.
And I'm not sure how today's negatives and positives weigh out to any kind of balance.
A positive is the fact that it's
Australia Day, though by the time this is getting posted, the fireworks displays will long be over. Yet even that day of celebration by many is observed as a
Day of Mourning by that country's Aboriginal people.
An announcement about the
Doomsday Clock also spelled out worse news today, as the clock has again moved closer to midnight.
Yet today while I was out walking on errands, I encountered a Peace rose in bloom. Not far from it, I found another bunch of those happy little flowers I've been seeing everywhere, those early harbingers of spring, the snow drops.
With those in mind, I'm counting this as a plus kind of day.
