Perspective

Just when you think your life is really crappy, you find someone whose life is even crappier than yours.

It just goes to show that really your life isn't so bad after all.

There is a woman that I know that is dying of cancer. Now I don't know her well, but I do know her. She's dying, right now, as I type this out. Doesn't that put your own life in perspective? It makes me realize that my life is awesome! I have a wonderful husband, 2 really good kids, I'm healthy, I have a roof over my head and food on my table. What else is important besides these things? If you think about it....nothing else matters.

So today, I'm going to embrace my life. I'm going to appreciate my health, my life, my kids and my husband. I'm going to try and apprieciate the crabby customers that come to my store tonight. (ok, that might be harder than it sounds...lol) But I'm really going to try. And when the urge to feel sorry for myself strikes, I'm going to remember the woman that is dying. I'm going to pray that she is peaceful and not in pain, and I'm going to remember that I am blessed.

Well, I can try anyway,

later.........
