"You need to write about Positive things, Dad!"

My older daughter said this to me today and it got me thinking and my response to that would likely be:

"It's like I'm riding in a car with all of you and it's a really beautiful day and I see an accident up ahead on the freeway and a lot of other people in cars around us aren't seeing the accident and I say, "Hey. Let's not be a part of that slow motion train wreck ahead so we can go over to the beach and catch some rays and then go hike up in the beautiful mountains. Let's not die here in that accident just because we are spaced out looking at the beautiful day."

I think that is my response to my daughter once I had thought about it some.
