Hey everyone, sorry I've been absent lately. I just started a new job, so I've been focused on that more than anything lately.
Today I want to talk about something important. I want to talk about how people tend not to realize what they have, often after it is already gone. We go through life working, interacting with people, and living, without doing a lot of thinking. It's easy to do these days, with television filling the gaps between one shift at work and another. I want everyone to do one thing tonight before you go to bed: think of everything you have that is good in your life, and take a moment to appreciate it. Now you may have to find the good in something, but that's okay. In fact, that's great! Step back and think about what you have, how far you've come, how great your marriage is, how beautiful your kids are. Maybe you can measure where you are in life now, compared to one year ago. Maybe your marriage or relationship is blossoming. Maybe you own a home. Maybe you just got a great new job. Or in simpler terms, maybe you have someone to fall asleep next to every night. Maybe you have a stockpile of food in your kitchen, waiting to be eaten. Maybe you get to sleep with a roof over your head and four walls around you, protecting you from the elements. If any of that is true in your life, you are a very lucky person. Take a moment tonight to appreciate that you were given such luxuries in life. If you do this, trivial matters may become small and insignificant. They may become but just a small bump among green pastures. Tell someone you love them tonight, and you might just make them realize that nothing else matters, but love.
that is so true, people don't realize what they have until it's gone.
