It's true, but you get what you need, and wanting what you have builds character. I'm happy too. I like my life. I wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks for the thought provoking rhapsody.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15937202381298099458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241125446398657690.post-74987666118900481322009-09-02T16:27:26.545-07:002009-09-02T16:27:26.545-07:00Well, I'm glad your uplifting post made all th...Well, I'm glad your uplifting post made all those other commenters feel better. It just made me feel worse because I can't put things in perspective like that. I just helped my very best friend, Laura, pack up her house so she and her stupid husband can move to stupid Miami and it is, in fact, one of the worst days of my life. She always promised that I could have a kidney if I needed it...well, what if I need it and she's in stupid MIAMI?? Who moves to Miami in their 40's???<br />Fuck Sheryl Crow. I want to get what I want, I don't want to want the shit I've got.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106392643859757751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241125446398657690.post-62764487979727198372009-09-02T14:46:49.805-07:002009-09-02T14:46:49.805-07:00Muah!

And I remember you giving me this same talk back when I lived in San Francisco and we were having dinner at that place called Columbus (?). It was in North Beach and then moved to the Marina. <br /><br />Anyway. Thanks for the reminder.Rachel V.

My ...A hearty AMEN to everything you just wrote! <br /><br />My trip to Calcutta gave me that perspective you talked about. It was a challenge to come away from that experience and start to plan a wedding. Somehow, dresses and flowers didn't seem quite as important after watching small children living in the street and using the gutters as their bathrooms. <br /><br />I hope to give that same kind of experience to my girls (when they're a bit older), so they realize that life in America isn't what people in other countries live, that we are blessed beyond belief even if don't get a brand-spankin-new Wii for our 8th birthday, and that knowing joy and having the love of family and friends is what keeps us going, striving to be the best "me" each of us can be.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17844364601710856996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241125446398657690.post-62153156959723398392009-09-01T09:17:51.110-07:002009-09-01T09:17:51.110-07:00That was the most thought provoking, uplifting blo...That was the most thought provoking, uplifting blog I have read in a long time. It made me think back on my bad times and realize that is what makes me today. I am proud of who I am and coming to realize that those things I can't change - to hell with it. We are richer than most in terms of family, friends, and yes, indoor plumbing. Some days we just need to sit back and reflect on that realize how lucky we all are.Julienoreply@blogger.com
