The big picture

When faced with pictures like the ones from Afghanistan, it makes my inside twist and turn. Apart from seeming like they're living on a completely different planet, it almost makes my life appear too good to be true. It gives me perspective, which in a way is sad. It should not be so, that one needs to see others in pain and suffering to realize the gratitude one should be displaying to not have grander worries than the majority of the Western world has.

I am thankful for the most necessary of needs being covered.

I am thankful for my friends whom I adore and cherish.

I am thankful for being able to wake up every day at the sound of my alarm clock.

I am thankful for my freedom and independence.

I am, and for that I'm forever grateful.

"Be the change you wish to see in the world"

- Gandhi
