Never a Great Loss Without Some Small Gain
November 5th, 2008 by Lydia vonderLuft
My sister owes me $1.00 on a bet I had with her on who would be the next president. On a more sober note, welcome to four years of Barack Obama and the tyranny of the 51%.
I’m reminded of one of my favorite quotes from the movie Anne of Green Gables:
Marilla Cuthbert: What is to be will be, Rachel.
Rachel Lynd: And what isn’t to be sometimes happens.
No matter how bad things get, they can always get worse. Small comfort.
