Grateful for Life

Hi all.

Just wanted to express the feelings that I am having. I am so thankful for my life. I work across from a soup kitchen. I have looked over so many times and have felt a little guilty for all I have. Yesterday when I looked over, while eating my lunch, a bunch of police cars came screaming up. There were 4 police cars, an ambulance and a firetruck. There was a young man, seemingly so distraught, with his arms waving and yelling out language that I couldn't repeat. He kept saying get an ambulance. Short side of the story was that another young man was stabbed and he was taken away by ambulance. I saw him being taken away. I guess he had to have surgery but is stable. The police put up the yellow crime scene tape and started to question those standing around. I just hoped the young man would be okay. I just wish something could touch their hearts so they know how much good is within them. They deserve and could get so much more.

I had to work last evening. That time of the year again. My tummy was really feeling yucky. But I finished what I had to do. Then I went home. On my way home I returned a call to my friend Deb. I found out another special lady, that I had just started a friendship with, was killed in a car accident. My heart was so heavy. I talked for a bit with Deb and just felt what a waste. I had to start finding that joy in my journey because I don't know how long my journey will last. By the time we pulled in the yard I just wanted to cry. And cry I did.

I guess that would be my hope for all of you today - is that you find joy in your journey and peace in your lives. Don't put things off until tomorrow because all too often tomorrow never comes.

I love my life...I love my life...
