I love good news. It's one of the reason's I blog.
Oh, I love the political discussions, learning about things I've never known before, getting to know new people, but most of all, I love good news.
And we have some seriously good news in the blogshere right now!!
BloodSpite, at Technography has a beautiful baby girl!! Regan was born on Nov. 27th in the wee small hours of the morning. I am so happy for the new parents. What a wonderful event. Go and congratulate them!!
Then, as I'm tooling through my favorite spots I see that Sgt. Hook is HOME!! This is the story of his final formation. It brought tears to my eyes. What a gentle man. And I mean that in every good way there is. This man, this Soldier who shares his thoughts and feelings so beautifully has helped to give me hope.
Let me explain. Up until the past few years I never had much of a chance to know "good men". Daddy died when I was 10. I had lots of Uncles and such, but our family didn't allow for much mixing between the age groups. Children were to go out and play, stay out of the way. (that's a whole 'nother post) I didn't marry well. Not at all. And like draws to like, so his friends weren't any better. Kinda burned me. Bad.
But I read the thoughts that Sgt. Hook shares, his feelings and realize that not all men are like the twisted SOBs I've known. I know that sounds kind of corny, but that's important. I've learned that there are more of the good ones than the bad ones. I've learned that being strong doesn't mean being mean.
Anyway - I'm rambling when all I really want to say it Welcome Home Hook. As difficult as it was to leave your troops, I cannot imagine the joy of holding your family. In time for the Holidays. God Bless Ya!!!
I love good news.

Seriously, cheery optimists are a nice relief from the bitter, grousy types I see at work.
