A Quick One

This is suppose to just be a quick blog today. I have a lot on my mind lately, you know things feel like there going good and then some small things happen and your day just feels crappy again. So today I was reading a friends blog of mine and I had always thought this thought but I've never actually said it. I found out that like my friend I'm pessimistic about the future of man kind, for the most part at least. There is just so much greed and hate, we buy crap we don't need. We're mad when a food we don't like is served for dinner, its just a killer if our car won't start that day. You know you hear the stories of children starving people having to walk miles to just get a drink of water, and its all just a world away, out of sight out of mind right? I wish I could do more sometimes, I wish I could help more maybe and buy less crap and feel like I'm doing something good. That's all an excuse though, its all excuses we will always say " I wish I could help." There's got to be some way, some how I can do something more. Maybe I'll just keep my eyes open, I feel like I stress the little things about the commandments I follow. I feel like sometimes my service isn't that great, and I'm not doing enough for my fellow man. I don't feel like I'm out helping him enough. I want to do more of the "feeding the hungry and liberating the captive."

You know what the funny thing is about this is, I was about to write about something a bit different, I was about to stress my little problems about how I'm not sure if everyone understands me, a different topic for a different time, but you start writing and you go somewhere else, and you think about your problems and their nothing. I heard yesterday a quote that was talking about our problems and making them so much bigger then they really are, it said something a long the lines of, " The only person that I can think of with a real problem, is buried in a cemetery." I can't really remember it now and that maybe way off, but that's the just of it. So smile and be happy I guess.

I suppose my challenge for myself and everyone else is keep two things in mind. Service, and Gratitude. Look at what you've got rather than that you don't, and just to try and help others out there.
