I just want to save the world...

gosh if I had enough money I would save the world or at least people I work with. Anytime I think I have it rough or am having a bad day, I have someone come into my office to remind me that I am truly blessed. So many people are out there struggling and have hard lives - but yet they are positive most of the time and are enjoying life. If the rich/wealthy would share their wealth then maybe our country wouldn't be so poor. Why should one live in a $500K+ house and others live in their cars or a homeless shelter.

Life is unfair isn't it - I often wonder why God did it that way. Most people are good people and they have good hearts, they just can't catch a break. I have cried three times this week when I went home from work because I want to give them everything I possibly can - you know. This is why I could never work in an orphanage or Children's Home, as much as I love children and want to help all of them, it would be like bringing a stray puppy home - we would have 15+ children - I just wish life was fair especially for the children. Everyone should be given the same opportunities.

I have often been accussed of having a big heart - I used to take that as a compliment but there are days where my big heart wants to do too much and I have to take a step back and just realize I can't save everyone - but if I can save or help one person that is - okay!

After this week, I know I am truly blessed to have Steve and the boys, to have family and friends that can catch me if I fall and they have before, to have a job, a roof over my head, clothes and food. We all get wrapped up in the material world of wanting wanting and then something may happen to make you realize that you really didn't need that $200 pair of jeans, (not that I would ever spend that much on jeans) but you get my point.

Just babbling, it was a rough week. Starting off with the anniversary of dad's death and those thoughts of his last week haven't left my head all week, so I haven't been sleeping much, a lot of issues going on here at work with various employees that are just heart wrenching, missing ole' friends, swamped beyond belief at work with actual work, the list could go on and on but at the end of this week, I am feeling truly grateful and blessed for where I am in my life and for what God has blessed me with!

Any big plans this weekend?? It is Friday, the 13th so it is our happy hour night at Jen's. She always has one on this day - not sure how or why it got started but it is another reason for us to get together I suppose, headed to Kings Island probably on Sunday if it doesn't rain and just a lot of running around the rest of the time. I hope it rains, it needs to rain, our poor lawn :(.... But at least this weather is a lot better than 100degrees!!

Whatever you do this weekend I hope you feel blessed and are safe. Count your blessings!!

Miss and love you dad ~ so much.

Much love and happiness to all,
