Life Of Fortune

I watch the news and mostly all you see is bad stories. I see stories about missing children that seem to never get found and when they finally find the child we discover the asshat that hurt the child was the teary eyed family member telling the medias audience to please bring their baby back. I saw a special on 60 Minutes where over educated once highly paid people have been out of work for nearly two years. I mumble under my breath that there had to be a fast food place hiring part time somewhere but what do I know....thankfully. Families go to bed tonight not knowing where there spouse is tonight or if they are in a fire fight with terrorists in a foreign land. I know people now who still are trying to have a child while time breathes menacingly over their shoulder. My wife has told me of people coming to her pharmacy and having to choose which medications they could afford this month. Are they asking themselves which they would rather chance more this month diabetic complications or a heart attack. The world is a mess. The world is brutal. I do not have any reason to complain. If I complain please someone remind me to watch the news. Please do not get me wrong everyone has the right to gripe from time to time but if you look carefully in most cases there is someone that has bigger problems. Problems like life can be fleeting. Take care brother and sisters and know I love you.
