sweet comments Lee

Props, Royce, for getting priorities just right. This was a blessing and not a curse. Too often we, as fans, think only about wins for the teams we follow. Too often we miss the human drama that goes on in these athletes' lives, just like in our own lives. The big thing here is Jeff Green is going to recover. He gets another chance at life. Before a ruptured aorta on the basketball court ended his life.

I am commenting because this story needs emphasis. This story is a tale of the hidden blessings in negative events. These negative events happen to all of us every year. What sets us apart is our willingness to see the light through the darkness. To find the positive (it's on the flip side of every negative) and focus on that positive. I think of the angst among the OKC players to lose their bud last year to trade with the Celtics. How many now are thankful that that trade and the resigning needed precipitated the stress test that identified this aneurism. Find the best, friends, in every situation and I promise you that life will be lots more fun and appreciated.
