Preaching to the choir

I have discovered the good side of heartbreak: those pants I got for Christmas that didn't quite fit now button.  The extra chub that had developed in the abs above my belly button is gone.  Emotional turmoil be damned; I'm stoked to have lost 7 pounds and am hoping for 5 more at least. 

I am just the weirdest mix of negativity always overcome by eternal optimism.  Maybe that's what makes me well-suited for criminal defense work.  I don't mind wallowing in the darkness but I can always see the possibility in any situation or person.
