There's no rosy way to put this—even for me—so I'll just go ahead and say it: This week blows. I'm feeling overwhelmed, run-down, and downright whiny for various reasons. Still, it's hard to take my problems seriously when there are so many things that put them in perspective. Last week I learned that a vivacious woman I interviewed for a story lost her battle to ovarian cancer. When I wrote her husband to express my condolences, he mentioned that he, too, was fatally ill—and he was worried about his two young daughters. The news broke my heart. It made me so grateful to be alive, healthy, and surrounded by the people I love. It sounds hokey, but I am channeling my love and positive energy his way.
