A few events transpired this morning that made me take a few steps back and reevaluate my life and personal situation. I am so incredibly blessed, and feel frivolous for worrying about unimportant things and adopting a negative attitude towards so many things recently. The little things always work out, and it hurts to know that I've been anything less than positive at the same time that a friend of mine is going through a truly horrendous situation. A quote from Mary Schimdt's Sunscreen essay comes to mind:
"Don't worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday."
Please keep my friend Blake in your prayers, and I encourage you to take a step back from your own life and count your blessings and to tell the people around you that you love them.
