Affliction or Appreciation

“Did you notice this morning that the water smelled funny again?”

“Yes. But remember how after we get a good rain, the water always smells funny for a few days. The new water rushing into the water tank stirs up the water already in it. So the bad smell means the rainwater tanks got a good restock of water.”

“Of course! Turning good into bad.”

It’s all in how you look at it. Unpleasant smelling water or some more precious water in a drought-stricken land. Afflictions or appreciation.
