Mad as hell

My mom returned from seeing my sister and I asked her for her assessment – she said your sister is angry that this has happened to her and she’s depressed. I said, I can see that.

I ran into my friend whose daughter is dying and I asked her how she is holding up, she said she’s mad as hell that this is happening and she’s so incredibly sad she has started crying all over again in earnest. I said, I can see that.

I think I for one, take for granted the blessings in my life and I just want to say I don’t know what it would be like to wake up tomorrow and lose a daughter, to lose my health, to be in chronic pain. I can only hope that whatever luck has guided me thus far, continues with me on my journey.

I do know I can safely say in a world where panic has ensued over the economy that money and jobs are the least concern any of us should have and we should all drop down to our knees and be grateful for every day we start a day without pain in our bodies, our hearts, our minds.
