The Comfort in Finding the Good (an Excellent Example)
A few weeks ago I wrote an article about how comforting it is to try to find the good in a bad situation; it’s a good exercise that will help take your mind off of the negative and, even if only for a few moments, remind you that every cloud has a sliver lining.

I just got off the phone with Sally, a friend of mine who did a wonderful job of finding the good, and I thought it would be helpful to share her example.
Sally and her husband are doing very well; they live on 30 acres near us with horses, a riding arena, tennis court, pond, and a beautiful log home. A woman and her husband (Mauricio and Maria) have been working for them for 16 years, living in a cottage located on the property. Mauricio takes care of the horses, the gardening, and the general maintenance. Maria cooks and cleans, and has helped raise their two sons from birth.
The couple decided to move back to Mexico, leaving Sally suddenly without help. Plus her sons, in effect, lost their “second mom” who has been an important part of their entire lives.
