“At times she’d be happy for days on end, announcing that she had decided to think only positive thoughts, because if you think  positive thoughts, then positive things would happen to you. But the positive thoughts would give way to negative thoughts, and the negative thoughts seemed to swoop into her mind the way a big flock of black crows takes over the landscape, sitting thick in the trees and on the fence rails and lawns, staring at you in ominous silence. When that happened, she would refuse to get out of bed.”
