Michael was an optimist who had done everything by the book. He listened attentively in class and achieved notable grades with his average talent. He secured a comfortable job where his dependability became the cornerstone of the department. Each day was faced with an outlook of positive expectation which for the most part, was fulfilled. As a skilled counter of blessings, he wasn’t too perturbed at being single when the early stage of middle age was broached. He was sure it would work out in the end, it usually did and fussing about it wasn’t going to help. Even when informed of the nascent dilemma of a growth in his intestine, he still went about his day. Whether it was helping out at the local shelter doling out servings of hot food or furniture shopping, Michael made an effort to keep to routine.
