Thankful

This morning I had to go to the Crisis Centre to drop off some items and as I saw a little kid playing on the computer.  I don’t know how his mother ended up at the Crisis Centre or what hell they had been trough before they arrive, but It reminded me how lucky we all are.

Just remember no matter how bad you think your day is, remember there is always something to be thankful for.

End of a week

My heart goes out to Jo and her family as yesterday they had the funeral service for her father.

The reality is you will grieve forever.  You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it.  You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered.  you will be whole again but you will never be the same again.  Nor should you be the same.  Nor should you want to be. 

Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

Monday will be another sad day and Jim and Kay have to do something no parent should have to- attend the burial service for their son Jeff.

Standing knee-deep in a river and dying of thirst

I have begun reading a book called Simple Abundance and it is has been a great book so far.  One short story discusses how the author heard a song called “Standing knee-deep in a  river and dying of thirst” picking up her daughter from work and how it brought her to tears.  So I naturally downloaded the song.

It is a great song if you listen to the lyrics that discusses friends being taken for granted, a world full of strangers just waiting to make connections with us and things in life we all take for granted.   We all have so much in our life but so often we don’t realize how lucky we are and simply look at others and refer to them as having the “good life”.

Sometimes it is hard to remember just how luck we are and how we have everything in our life that we need to make us happy.
