Ten

Hello There My Lovelies,

So I saw today that I have ten followers on my blog. I was waiting for #10 to arrive, and her icon says her name is Lyn, so welcome, Lyn :)

I found out last night that my dad was in a motorcycle accident. I got a message from him that he was in the emergency room. Imagine my relief when I found out that he was able to leave that evening, with only broken ribs. I felt like I won the lotto.

I am aware that broken ribs are very painful, but you know what ? My dad is alive and not in a coma and was able to go home, so everything else is really just other details to be worked out later. I don't know what I would do if I had lost him. When I got the message, I thought that he was about to die, but when I heard he was going to be released soon, I felt like I was given a second chance. Sometimes people aren't so lucky.

The economy sucks and people are going through hard times, but one thing I hate learning is that things can get worse. And what's worse is when things do actually get worse.

If these tough times out there are teaching us anything, is that as our material possessions are being taken from us, look at what you still have (if you still do): Your health, loved ones, maybe still a job. Be thankful for that. There is nothing worse than complaining over financial difficulties and THEN losing what's really precious.
