... when you see things like this, it really makes you appreciate what you have, but more importantly what you don't have. This is a time to remember that "good will towards men" shouldn't be forgotten when C'mas is over...

Season's greetings to ALL of you my friends

Its sad.

Those children, men, and women, did not ask to be born into that life, they just were...
They didn't have a choice, neither did we, so we should be thankful our souls were borne into the bodies we were given. We are truly fortunate.

worked in Nigeria Africa for 13 years. I saw the world through his eyes.
The United States is so very spoiled! I blogged a story once about when he went to the Phillipines
to help a family he knew.

During the hurricane, I had to prepare for that and survive that by myself. I had to depend on ME>
After going through Hurricane Rita by myself, I was very humbled. I was reminded how fragile life is.
I will NEVER forget, though many people have forgotten.
I have not forgotten where I have been, what I have seen, where I have come from.
People tend to close their eyes to what they should notice the most.

It takes awareness, talking, and writing about such hardships and pain to remind people to
look around. So say that people have to be brought to their knees at times to trigger remembrance.

Have a wonderful holiday William. I appreciate your words, your thoughts, and your awareness. I hope you (like me) will remember that EVERY DAY is a gift. What we make of it or take from it
will shape us...........

much love and hugs to you!
Merry Christmas, my friend.
Teri

Will. We should all remember how lucky we are and that most things we place value on are nothing compared to the gift of health and compassion.

That's ...

Really makes all the little

Really makes all the little things in life we focus on so insignificant.. I guess any society that runs on capitalism, advertising and marketing will always put our focus on the stuff that doesn't even really matter.Thanks for the reminder! And happy holidays all.
