Graham, Over the past 4 or 5 month I feel as though some of you have become close friends. I count you right up there. I am sorry to read about the incident with your daughter. Unfortunately I had to deal with a situation like this some years ago with a parent but the situation did not turn out as well. While the situation is different with a child, my thoughts and prayers are also with you and your daughter and family.

When things get bad I remember 2 key sayings.
1. Everything Works Out Perfectly (EWOP).
2. Just Remember, This To Shall Pass.

I kind of refer to myself as a fatalist. Not in the Negative terms many would think but I just realize that things happen. I try to look for the positive and just know that somewhere in all this there is a positive influence on a human level.

Now, for the other subject. After a VERY bad day I do have a positive link to a kilt. This is almost like taking off the bad day and putting on a new positive attitude.
