Don't be negative

For many years Paul Harvey was a "monoversationist", a one-man show and he very rarely had" a guest" on his show. We all looked forward to hearing his "bumper stickers." He said that the title above was his favorite bunker sticker.
Throughout my 85 years, I have run into both sides. My mother's favorite saying, which summarizes the concept, is a great lesson to learn, "Two men looked out from behind bars. One saw mud and the other stars."
Tuesday I was scheduled to deliver a speech by phone. Being positive I knew that this would work out well. Mallory Head, who has helped me with my computer, had an appointment and could not be here. I wrote my outline and she was to print it for me. Erin Longmeyer, her boss came to my room and emailed my talk and printed it. Ten minutes prior to my call my phone was not working and a maintenance worker stopped by and said he would be right back. One minute before time to speak he had my phone working. We eat at 11:45 and the dietician had my lunch delivered to my room.
I have been a patient at NHC Rehab for 7 months and recently wrote a press release that gave Kudos to HNC for helping their patients.
To keep this short, I gave my speech, which was being recorded, and spoke for an hour and forty minutes.

An organization each Tuesday asks people with unusual backgrounds to talk about their lives. I have had four careers, had my picture taken in the cell with Tojo who was "The Hitler of Japan", I was on one of TV's earliest quiz shows "Sense and nonsense" quiz show and we won 10 shows with a total of $720 in prize money
In 1954 I was in a group of teenagers "Pascack Vally Hospital Teen-Age Auxillary," which was started to overcome Teen Age Delinquincy problems. Readers Digest wrote about us and we helped start many similar teen age groups.
I have written and published a variety of subjects and one of my favorites was "Fanous People Who Have Met Me. I am writing a second edition, which I should finish with a month. I will send you an email edition if you send $25 dollars to Dwight Logan, PO Box 52383, Knoxville, TN. Don't forget to include your email address. You should have your copy emailed by the middle of July. My first edition sold over 200,000 copies.

And that's...the rest...of the story...
Paul Harvey had a radio show called "The Rest of the Story ". He would tell the tale of some obscure people doing seemingly inconsequential things and then all of a sudden...
Bazinga! Aahaa! The well-known, important ending of the tale for which Mr. Harvey just provided the back-story.
...and that's...the rest...of the story...
Another great journalist, Walter Cronkite of CBS News, ended his newscasts with the line, "and that's the way it is, (fill in the date).
Oh, those were indeed the days of great TV and radio celebrities...
