Have you ever played the storytelling game Fortunately, Unfortunately? The players go back and forth, adding a bit to the story. Each time it’s a different player’s turn, their bit has to start with “fortunately” or “unfortunately” – the opposite of whichever was used most recently – in order to advance the story.
Goodness this is great!! I too believe so strongly that we must acknowledge the “unfortunates” - there’s a real cost to burying things without any acknowledgement. Yet, we don’t need to sit with them long.
Unfortunately, it’s storming out and tornado warnings are buzzing through my phone. Fortunately, I have a safe, cozy, and fear-free shelter for me and my pup.
Thank you for those thoughts, Caroline. Why are we so often afraid to simply acknowledge bad things when they happen? I fully agree with you. You and the pupper stay safe in the storms!

I love this take - may I use it ? I don’t know how or when but I could definitely use this with original author of course. I’ve so many 😂
Of course, Yvonne!
