Humbled

I don't know how I feel about today. I started my morning like I usually do, coffe a cigarette and the morning news. I putsed around and cleaned the apartment. I smoked. I drank too much coffee. I logged on to my blog.

I read Lora's post from yesterday and I was overwhelmed to the point where I can't speak. That's because I am so touched, hurt, sad, angry that any word I try to use will not do what I am feeling any justice. There aren't words to describe these thoughts.

Just when I start to feel bad for myself, I come across a story of someone who is really suffering and I am brought back to reality. No my life isn't a bowl of cherries but I have it pretty good compared to other's. I am thankful. I am blessed. I am humbled.

  2. I know. Lora is this giant banner waving in the wind. She gets your attention. She writes beautiful poignant gut-wrenching posts. I love that girl.

    Coincidentally... I love you too.

    Ditto, my friend!

    Sometimes I need to look away from my life to be reminded of how blessed I truly am.

  6. oh wow! thank you so much for the press and for your words about that post.

    one thing that i've learned from my job is no matter how hard my life seems, it's not as hard as someone else's.

    love to you
