A better outlook on life

Ok, It took a friend to tell me a sad story to take my mind off of how much I hate the holidays and how disappointed in people that I am. I had a friend call me today and tell me how she was going to spend the day. She is going into work for an hour and then taken her son to visit his little sister. Now they are going to visit her at the cemetery. Yes my friends little girl died 3 days after she gave birth to her. It’s been some years since this has happened but she still feels the lost and the pain of having that child die on her. Now really how in the world could I be upset with my life when I know of people that are going through life with so much less and so many other problems? My problems seem so small when my friend told me this. I told her I am sorry for her lost but that it put how I was feeling to so much shame. I have my health I have a job and a place to live. Compared to the people that got caught in Katrina and the other hurricanes I have the greatest life. So from this point on I am going to put all the conceited uncaring people behind me and move forward to live my life and enjoy every single day that I have because you never know what tomorrow will bring. We will see how long this last. I hope it gets me through the holidays.
