Humbling moments...

I have felt a gigantic sense of needing to remember how blessed I have been. With many different people around me struggling with different issues, it has made me remember how precious the things we have in life are. I begin to dwell on other's lives and tend to forget about my own. Dwelling on other people isn't going to better my life, nor does it make me feel good. I can be compassionate and still worry for them, but also learn from it and better myself. I am far from being the person I need to be, especially lately it seems. I have been in this rut where I am not motivated to do much of anything spiritual, and I feel like I am caving in somehow. This past month there have been a few things that have just jolted my mind and helped me realize how great I have it. I have such a beautiful family and a wonderful husband who loves me. Not everyone is so lucky. I am grateful for the plan that we have for being on this earth, and knowing there is life after death. I can't imagine how people go through life not understanding why they are here, and what there purpose is. I just needed to get that out somehow, more for myself than anything. With all the problems around me I have just felt closed in, and scared for everyone else. It has just helped me start to focus on how much better I can be, and not dwell on things I cannot change.
