Perspective.
I was going to post about all the things I want lately and how I can't afford them now, and how much I miss being able to afford going on vacations.
And then I spent the last half hour reading about people from Joplin, which is about an hour from where I grew up. How there's a family with an 18 year old child, who don't know if he's alive and have been searching for him for five days. How a family of five are missing. How there are still over 200 people unaccounted for.
I am lucky.
I am lucky that I have the material things that I do have.
I am moreso lucky because I have so many lovely people in my life, who love me.
I am even luckier than that because my Joplin family are safe and healthy and whole.
People of Joplin, I am praying for you, and donating for you, and hoping for the best for all the families out there waiting for answers.
