Midnight Thoughts
I sit outside a lot at night and reflect on the many conversations of the day or the past week. I think about school assignments and projects, if anyone else in my classes are up doing their school work. I think about my children, my 3 young men. Two of them serving in Iraq together working as gunner and driver, and the early morning I got the call from the youngest of the two (age 20 at the time), telling me his brother was hit (age 24 at the time). Everything seemed to happen so fast, being rushed to W.R.M.C. and living there with my son for a year. The middle child making it home safe but almost losing him on mother's day the same year from a head on collision. Almost losing the older one once again from a near fatal motorcycle accident that left him with a severe brain injury on July 4th of 2007. My mom passing away mother's day weekend of 2007. Yet, this does not even compare to so many that have endured much more than I. That leaves me with the morning sunrise thoughts of thanks and prayers for the people that have so much less and are filled with heartache.

That is a very uplifting way of looking at things. I too try to look at things in a better light. Even though people all around us are struggling for money or getting divorces, we are doing pretty well. but we made the choices we made to ensure our future, and we could not be happier together. We see how our friends and their relationships are and we make it a point to NOT do the things they do that make their relationships so terrible. Thank you for your post, I'm glad to see that there are still people out there who can see things in a positive way, and not so negative all the time.
