Then She Shows Me Love

It's funny, after I wrote about turning the corner on disappointment and negative waves as quickly as possible my wife gave me an 'award' for being an 'Executive Homemaker', and I can't describe how wonderful this simple gesture was. Clearly I concern myself with these things far too much - and she thinks so too. And so it occurs to me that trying to avoid negative emotions and stay positive is less like Buddhism's cessation of emotions and more like staying positive all the time; and just as one doesn't understand the worth of something until they experience it, I wonder if I would understand the worth of my positive emotions without the temporary negative ones as well.
