I got a new job with 40 minutes less of a commute today.

But with thousands of people drowning in their attics right now I feel no joy at all. I'm so sick about how these repugs in charge have such disdain for the lives of poor Americans.

Once your beyond your fetal stage it's sink or swim with them, literally.

1. Be happy for yourself,

keep the suffering people in your heart, but take some happiness for yourself.

I am getting into a house this weekend 45 minutes closer to work, will be saving $300+ a month on fuel. I will be sending some of that savings to the Red Cross.

2. That's good news for you too.

I'll try to be happy but this is such a terrible time.

3. Congratulation to you both! It's good news for both of you--

please don't let the disasters take away your joy for yourself. It's not selfish to be happy for your achievement or proud of what you've done!

You can feel badly for those that are in crisis, and still feel happy for the good occuring in your life right now.
