"It's only water"

There are days when you are simply in awe of the strength of the human spirit. During the recent flood disaster, I contacted the hotline and spoke to a female police officer. Her sunny attitude in the face of such devastation was uplifting, but it was her comment when I asked if she herself had been affected that floored me. The entire lower floor of her home had several metres of water in it. When I offered my condolences, she replied with a laugh "Bah ... it's only water!"

What a great attitude to life!
