Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR

Yesterday I had an awesome good thing! When I was in Honolulu last month attending a professional conference, one of the presentations was about instilling a sense of hope in therapy. During the break I approached the presenter and said, "I have a story of hope" and briefly summarized how I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer after my bones had started breaking, it was in my liver and I wasn't expected to live -- 8-1/2 years ago! He asked me to write something he could use in future presentations. I promptly forgot all about it.
Yesterday I received an unexpected email from him -- he would have had to ask the conference organizers for my address -- and the message was a nice re-invitation to submit something (or not, he wished me health anyway). I sat up until 4:00 a.m. tweaking this perfectly worded story... where I get to be the heroine triumphing over cancer!
