When my granddaughter was about 3 or 4 years old, her favorite color was red. One day I bought her a beautiful red dress. Just two days later I came upon her in her new dress and there was a big blue slash right across the front of it!
Horrified, I said, "Oh honey, what's that on your dress?"
Very matter-of-factly, she said, "Oh, it's paint."
"Will it come out?" I asked.
"No," she said.
"Oh, no!" I exclaimed.
Very patiently she explained, "It's okay Grandma, there's plenty of red left."
The important thing, you see, was the red. And there was still plenty of it.
When you think disaster has struck, try to see if there's enough red left.

A Little Gem
I stumbled across this little gem on Whitehawk's blog.
Originally published in 1990, it appears to be in the public domain. However, it has been reprinted and is also available in book form on amazon.com.
I am so enamored of it that I am reproducing it here in it's entirety. My favorite line is, "Getting out of here is not the point. Getting more light into here is." What's yours?
Also, please consider joining the PLO (Planetary Liberation Organization).

INTRODUCTORY INFORMATION
The Mission
The mission to Planet Earth was initiated by request of the planet herself. Earth has asked and the stellar councils have granted an evolutionary leap. Over the last millennium Earth has been preparing for our advent. It is now time to enter the Earth plane to reclaim this planet in the name of the Forces of Light and to open her doors to the cosmic community in which she resides.We congratulate and salute those of you throughout the universes who have volunteered for this assignment. Go with our blessing. And remember, read the manual before you get there. Although you are veterans of countless successful missions to numerous dysfunctional life support systems, watch out for this one.This edition of the manual is specifically designed for this planetary system—a system which defies all true rationality and has raised dysfunctionality to an art form. It is also one of the few systems where telling the truth is covertly considered a creative act. Because of the inherent hazards of this planet, Mission Control will not be responsible for any members of this mission who do not thoroughly acquaint themselves with the material contained in this special edition.—Mission Control
