Today, I went to work on the most beautiful day I've seen in a LONG time... Ashlee and I sat on the porch with our computers on our lap, getting a tan and playing Taylor swift. :)
I ran out of work around 4:30, and had 1/2 an hour to waste time. ;) So i decided to Google "sick, shocking murders". How fun right? I told my debate partner a few weeks ago that I'd tell her more scary stories about people eating each other on the buses in Canada... (lol) men being 1200 pounds... just random stories. Now I regret ever googling anything. We live in a sick world... I read about men beating up little babies, children and women being kidnapped and never being found. 12 year old girls killing elderly people...a ton of sick, disgusting stories. At first it was entertaining (in a weird type of way...) Ashlee and I would just laugh at the stupidity of some people in unbelief. But then I started reading about little babies, and young children! The world is truly a horrible place. As i was reading it all, I kept thinking about Mexico, India, Africa, China - third world countries: how horrible life is for them, what it's like to actually be in their places, to really go weeks without water, to not know where their food is coming tomorrow... Thinking about that, while reading theses stories, while sitting on a porch drinking a coke and eating fruit snacks...I realized how blessed I really am. I have so much, I'm so safe, I have a job, I live in a pretty good country... I don't have to worry about how I'm getting my food, or who's stalking me!
My only worries today was what music I was going to listen to, and if my debate block will be done on time.. what a horrible life right? ha! We constantly worry about such little things, when in the big picture - it's so tiny. We are seriously bless...we just have to realize it...
