Sorry that I'm blogging a little later then normal. I actually went to write this first thing but I realized that I had nothing but complaining to talk about. I woke up this morning down on myself for whatever reason, being frustrated with certain people...not to worry it's no one reading this, beginning to questions certain things going on in my life right now....then I heard the news. It was enough for me to stop the "poor me" and "why me" thoughts and realize that right now 33 people and 33 families where given a second chance..a chance to see their loved ones again and the opportunity to touch lives. I've been checking on and off about the progress they are making to get all the minors out and the pictures and reactions make my heart leap and the tears fill my eyes. We take so much for granted. So much! And it's times like this that make me disgusted with how I feel and think sometimes, that I get wrapped up in "I" and that's not what it's about. It's not about me, it's about those around me, what am I bring to the table to make someone else life better today...makes you think.
So...I've always been told if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. Today I realized that all those things I can't say...it's not worth it. Rejoicing with those who have received great news, crying with those who hurt, listening to those who need to speak and praying for those around me, that's what it's all about. I haven't felt that good this week, chalk it up for the time of year, but when I don't feel well I tend to turn inward as I think most of us do. I'm OK with that, because if it wasn't for that...I wouldn't of had the chance to realize the bigger picture today...once again it's not about me.
Care for one another!
