Monday's aftermath

ON THIS DAY: In 477 BC Veii ambushed and defeated the Roman army at the Battle of the Cremera as part of the Roman–Etruscan Wars. In 64 the Great Fire of Rome caused widespread devastation and raged on for six days, destroying half of the city ((that's an awfully long time for Nero to be fiddling, neh?)). In 1334 the bishop of Florence blessed the first foundation stone for the new campanile (bell tower) of the Florence Cathedral, designed by the artist Giotto di Bondone. In 1862 first ascent of Dent Blanche, one of the highest summits in the Alps. In 1870 the First Vatican Council decrees the dogma of papal infallibility. In 1925 Adolf Hitler published Mein Kampf. In 1942 the Germans test flew the Messerschmitt Me 262 using its jet engines for the first time. In 1966 Gemini 10 was launched from Cape Kennedy on a 70-hour mission that includes docking with an orbiting Agena target vehicle. In 1992 a picture of Les Horribles Cernettes was taken, which became the first ever photo posted to the World Wide Web.
Quote of the day:
“ You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe. “
~ Marcus Cole, Babylon 5
How do you handle bad news? Do you like to have it broken to you gradually or in one bitter dose? Do you like the “lead with good news first” approach?
How do you react? Do you drop to your knees and pray? Do you deny this is happening? Do you start ranting and raving about the basic unfairness of it all? How do you assimilate it? Do you worry and stew? Is it any easier if it is not happening directly to you if a loved one is being impacted? How do you support your loved ones? Do you hover anxiously or keep your distance? Do you talk about it or ignore it because life does go on?
Me? I’m much better at handling bad news for myself than I am for things that happen to my kids. Guess even though they are all grown up [39 and 44], Mommy still wants to fix things…..
