Stop And Think

On Thursday morning I went out to the car at about 6:45 am to go to class. I saw that the driver side window was totally shattered and someone had gone through the whole glove box and had stolen our radio. And broke our cup holder. :-( Ty had to drive me to class. We were both really upset and I was so mad and sad when I was walking into class. I thought why would someone do this? How can they even sleep at night knowing what they put people through. I was stressing about the money that we would need to fix it. Anyway, while I was totally feeling bad for myself...I sat down next to my project partner in class. He seemed down so I asked him what was up. He replied that a friend of his had died the day before in a car accident. Suddenly all my hard feelings shattered. Here I am wallowing in self pity and someone else is grieving over the death of a loved one. I thought to myself, everyone I love is just a phone call or a short drive away. I have a roof over my head and food to fill my stomach. And while I'm still not happy about what happened to the car, I have a total different perspective on things. I'm grateful for all that I have and I hope that I can always stop and think and remember how blessed my life truly is. :-)
