Sometimes I feel so blessed that I can not contain myself. I also have down times but not so often. I think when one faces death, loss and disability (and rises above) there is a miracle at hand which deserves attention and acknowledgment. To be alive, loved, full bellied, able to move about, living in own home and enjoying the freedoms we enjoy.................is a grand thing. I wanted to say "I am a lucky human". Then add the good loving of a good man and you have a very happy woman. I do not want to ever be remiss in stating this loud and clear !!!! I guess I was blessed to be born into my family and situation no matter how challenging life has been(mom dyeing,divorce,eating beans and rice for months etc). I have always known I was loved. No matter what; I always knew how blessed I was and felt gratitude for everything(except for a few teenage moments). Now is a good time to remember this. Especially those of us who live in the US. We really do not know or can conceive of the lives others face in countries not so free or rich. Remember this when you complain about the traffic, bad weather, noisy neighbors, snappy check out lady or whatever small issues we turn into tragedies. It could always be worse.
Keeping it in perspective.................Angela
