Hey,
Well we have finished Circle of Courage and the Developmental Assets methods or philosphies.
So today I am taking a break just to talk.
So much sorrow in the world. It is hard to imagine the kind of devastation that has occured in Myanmar. I had never even heard of this country before now. And evidently, they have tried to keep it that way. They had intentionally isolated themselves and now they are all over the news and accepting support and help from around the world even though it is hard to even reach them.
Reminds me of our talks about support and belonging. Life is too hard to do all alone. 22,000 dead and 41,000 missing. My mind can not even take that in.
It is easier for me to mourn the death of the filly in the derby than 22,000 men, women and children. I can not even go there.
When I get past the horror of it all, I can go to gratitude. Gratitude that I am not dealing with the devastation or loss taking place in that country.
I can get so bogged down in my own problems...the price of filling up my gas tank on my car, paying bills, stress at work and home....BUT those are just the "stuff of life" and I can be grateful that I have a life....a home...a car...my family...a job...etc.
I am thankful for all the blessings I have in my life each and every day.
Till tomorrow,
LA
