Although you try to write only uplifting entries here, a recent news story has you sickened and saddened about what human beings are capable of. As much as you wish you could escape it, you can't help but want to know more because it seems almost impossible that someone could be so cruel for so long.
However, stories like these do make you appreciate your own life. Ever since you had your son, you can barely listen to news about children who are hurt. You couldn't finish The Road, even though dystopian novels are your favorites! Hearing this tragic, awful story made you pull your son close to you and thank the heavens that he's yours and safe. It made you feel shameful for all the times you've lost your temper with him and haven't paid attention to what a joy he can be. It made you especially thankful for all the people who love you and whom you love.
It scares you that the world is filled with so much pain and suffering. You are so blessed. You are so, so lucky.
Try this at home:
What are you thankful for today?
