So, the last little while I've been kind of feeling sorry for myself because of the gigantic tax final that I don't have enough time to study for. And then, during my break for the day, I checked my email/took a couple of calls. Within a few minutes I had found out the following:
* Nancy is still very sick
* A dear young man who I knew passed away this weekend from a brain tumor (more about him later, I hope)
* A good friend of mine, who is in her first year of law school in another city, had her apartment burn down this weekend. She's happy to be alive
* One of my students is in the emergency room with an E-coli infection
Man, I feel good about my life. No more complaining, Lots more gratitude. Actually, I was just telling my roommate last night how grateful I am not to be sick - first December final period I haven't been sick. And there's so much more to be grateful for, more than just not having large problems, I mean. Well, enough of that for now, I have finals to study for! But I am extremely grateful for answered prayers and tender mercies and just loads of blessings.

Sometimes it's good to get those reminders about what's really important. But you really are okay to feel sorry about yourself for that tax final, yikes! At least it will be over soon. Good luck and Merry Christmas!
I agree with the one before me. and writing really helps me put things into perspective too.
