My aha moment came pretty recently.

My son had some pretty severe back pain after playing soccer. (He is 12.) We saw the doctor did a bone scan, etc. While we were waiting for test results, a boy we knew of through a friend died of bone cancer at the age of 15.

So, when the doctor came back and said my son had a stress fracture in his spine, I screamed Hallelujah! Yep, stress fracture is a bummer and no sports for 3 months stinks. But, there are a lot worse things out there.

Thanks for sending me to this post from the Yakezie forum Sam.

I agree your friend’s perspective is definitely the more hopeful one and that does lead one to be more proactive. Having a hopeful outlook is your insurance policy for getting through life’s challenges. It is not automatic for me so I have to try really hard to find those silver linings sometimes but I always feel better when I do.
