Testing one ..two.... is this thing on??
I made it back from Halifax safe and sound. When I was driving I did a lot of thinking. It's weird how sometimes I go on rants and bitch and complain but I realize now our problems are never what they seem. You may feel sad, depressed, down, etc. but stop complaining, it could always be worse. I realize now its all about perspective.
My brother went to have a reversal surgery that would make him "normal" again. The doctor was the best doctor in Canada and he said there was nothing he could do to fix the damage. So now my brother has to go through life a little bit different than everyone else, and you know what amazes me about the whole ordeal, he is okay with it. He was so sad when he recieved the news, but he looked me in the eyes and said "I guess it could always be worse I could be dead... at least I made it through the surgery"...thats when it hit me, I AM DAMN LUCKY.
Today is also the second anniversary of the death of Jay and Shaul... that also made me realize how lucky I really am. So this post is to say thank you God for letting me be where I am right now. I may be single, lonely sometimes, a little sick, etc. but I have it a lot better than most people and for that I am thankful.
So if you take anything from this post , let it be recognition. Realize that whatever is happening in your life it is probably 5,000,000 times less painful and damaging than what some individuals in the world face each day. Be thankful you have whatever gift you were given and try and help those around you who are not quite as fortunate.
