First of all, the suicide you witnessed – I’m sorry you had to go through that – Witnessing death is something that no one should ever have to go through – it changes you, and as you said, may provide you with a new found appreciation for living.

Life is hell, and life is wonderful. When it rains, it pours, I can atest to that – bad things seem to happen all at once, and I guess, at times, it’s too much for some to handle. But as you said, solace can be found in the little things. A Hannah Montana marathon is a great example – totally stupid in the grand scheme of things, but sometimes we need that mental ‘escape’ (I’m a big fan of Drake and Josh myself).

Anyway, before I start to ramble – thank you for writing this, very well said and forced me to take a step back and take a deep breath, tell myself that even though there is a ton going on in my life, that it’s all going to be OK.

I’m so sorry you had to witness such tragedy, but it’s great that you and your sister have become so close. Also, I kind of feel like we were destined to “meet.” It seems like we have a very similar outlook on life. Just like you, there is always something that keeps me going. Joy and beauty are all around, sometimes in the most unexpected places.

It’s interesting what your dad told you, because I’m the same way. As you know from my blog, I’m all about spreading the love and appreciation, and it’s your desire to do the same that led me to choose you as the winner of my esteemed (haha) Appreciation Challenge this week. I don’t think it’s possible to say “I love you” or “thank you” too much, as long as you really mean it. Seeing the good in people is a wonderful quality, don’t let anyone tell you differently. Great post!
