Take the Up Elevator --Go Down, Come Back Up

Bad luck?  Bad news?
--Rage blindly
--Deny utterly
--Nosedive completely...

...Analyze deliberately
   Examine painstakingly
   Accept graciously...

...Re-invigorate, all the stronger for the experience!

Ah, the five stages of grief, so eloquently put - also, the title made me think of one of my favorite novels "Up the Down Staircase" - have a good day, gw!

Ah, you've nailed my original intent, which was, indeed, the five stages of grief. But I veered off a bit, and came up with the above. Glad for your visit and comments, Michelle! :) Gershon
