I was walking down a plaza street today very sorry for myself due to the extremely bad night and day I have had, one of the worst in a long time. When I noticed a girl sitting in a restaurant facing the window sobbing.  She had an older woman on each side of her trying to comfort her. I could only guess they were relatives. I spent the next hour making up stories in my head of what she was so upset about..  As soon as I had forgotten about her I past a car wreck, someone had tried to make it through the light at 55^th and Brookside Blvd. They were hit from the side and there car was totaled and a person appeared to be hurt.  Both of these things I witnessed today made me think about something Elaina asked while we were camping the other night. She said “name three things you are thankful for.”  I named them and we went on to talk about something else.  The three things are not important to you, and I don’t need to name them to make this point. What is important is that fact I even have three things to be thankful for, there are people walking around right now who don’t. Who don’t even have anyone in their life to ask them what they are happy about.  My point is you do have something you are thankful for however small it is. And there is no better time to recognize it then right now.  You should go do that and I will to.
