My daughter is going through some stuff right now and I'm saddened for her and what she and my two precious grandbabies will go through.
My friend, Harry has cancer in the brain and has lost an enormous amount of weight and can barely talk.
Chile and Haiti both had earthquakes where thousands of people died.
Dawn Brancheau, the Sea World whale trainer was pulled into the pool by Tillium and thrashed about under the water. Suffered traumatic injuries and drowned at 40. She was laid to rest Monday in her hometown of Chicago.
Crap is going on all around us. What are we doing to be better people, to be nicer to each other? To hold the door open when going into a store, to let someone merge on the highway, to give a smile to the check out clerk, ask how they're doing, or using the waiter or waitress' name when they serve you?
Why are we wasting our days just living for us. I once told my daughter that whatever happens to her happens to the rest of the family. I never really took stock of that comment until the first grandbaby came and our lives, all of them, changed. Then baby #2, another wedding, another son in law...it all changes the family, all of us.
But in reality, we are not just in life by ourselves but with everyone around us....if we share our story with someone, whether it be the nice nurse at the medical clinic, or the friendly person giving us our Caribou. Don't you think it changes their life in some way?
More compassion for you and maybe a thought of something they should do in their life and more importantly, a better and hopefully deeper appreciation for what they have and that they better take care of it.
When my step daughter lost her son, my grandson, it happened to all of us. We all cried, we all suffered that loss.
Let us remember that life happens to us all. We need to be ready once we wake to face it head on and with courage. Sometimes life is ugly and we have to be ready for it. Put on the armour of God and charge!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many blessings
