the last week has been an eye opening week for me. Its got me thinking...
The death of farrah fawcett and the struggle her body and soul went through in her battle with cancer in the last few years made me look at batten disease as if it were a luxury disease.
The loss that farrah fawcetts parents have endured now losing their second daughter leaving them with no living children has made me so thankful for every single time I have barfed and every single little pain I've experienced in my pregnancy.. my child is living
The death of the king of pop leaving his children fatherless has made me thankful for my dad and the man that he is
The fact that the death of a child endangering king of pop has overshadowed the death of so many other deaths in the same day/week/month tells me our world is pretty backwards...
The fact my dad and sister were in africa worshiping with people that don't even own their own Bible makes me realize how spoiled and taken advantage of religion in the US is... I don't even read my own Bible every day
The fact that in America you can earn money and blue ribbons for having the fattest farm animal and never kill it but a goat that is smaller than my sisters corgi can double the income of a family living in rwanda makes me embarrassed to live near dixon california
While vacationing in lake tahoe I noticed people gambling during an economic recession.. like I said, I was vacationing... during a recession.
oh I know there were a few more things but my sleeping pills are kicking in.. the rest will have to wait... zzzZZZ
