on the other hand


I can't rest with such a negative post floating at the top of my blog. Sure, that rotten experience ruined my day, but it didn't ruin my life. Put a painful kink in our already strapped finances, but nothing really horrific happened.

After coming across at least the 6th plug for it, I finally ventured over to Sheye Rosemeyer Photography. A lovely, poigniant lady who has just passed the anniversary of her daughter's death via a freak accident. I had avoided it the other 5 times because I was worried it might make me sad, but oddly in the end it didn't. What a neat lady, and what a perfect dose of perspective to make my little day of troubles feel little after all.
At the end of the day being safe, healthy, together as a family, and trying to choose the right are the things happiness is made of. All the rest is just stuff. (Frustrating stuff, but still)....
It was enough to make the dark clouds that were impaling my being back off. I've got it pretty good, don't I?

I found that link through Sam's blog and read till all hours of the morning. It was pretty incredible. Just couldn't help thinking how much I wish this lady had the blessing and knowledge that the Gospel brings to ours.
