reminders.

we take things for granted. let me rephrase that, i take things for granted. it is so easy to simply forget how blessed and privileged we are. i woke up today, with the biggest stresses on my mind being prepping for a job interview next week, and hoping i can find a business suit that fits for the same interview. and then i come home, and hear about my friend's lives and lives of total strangers, and feel embarrassed for even stressing earlier in the day.

my friend amy reminds me how blessed i am to have my loved ones close to me her husband aaron is in the military, and his deployment just got extended. my friends devon and steve remind me what a comfortable life i lead in los angeles they leave for india tomorrow. they are moving there to live a life amongst muslims. the navy seals that sacrificed their lives for our country remind me that life is precious, and i need to live my life with more purpose. the lives of friends remind me how lucky i am to have two living parents, that both love me and would sacrifice everything for me.

i have been blessed. and i feel guilty for not living my life accordingly.
