If we're on this subject, we missed my lovely cousin's funeral today because of the snow.
The Christmas celebration for the homeless was also canceled at my church because it was to be held at the university... which is closed. Meaning, I couldn't give the homeless girl what might be her only present for the holidays.
I had to make it over to my sister's house because she wanted to divorce her husband after they got into a physical fight. I bought them all dinner and helped patch things up for a little bit by listening and being attentive to everyone. And then there's my mother who's been stuck in a rotting trailer on a mountain crying uncontrollably because there's no sign of civilization and she has no running water and her telephone connection goes out frequently. Plus, Josh has to work nearly every day out there (he just finished working 8 days in a row before he got two days off).
Despite all of this however, I refuse to give in and have a bad time. Life is too short to regret and I'm going to make the best of whatever situation. ^^
Cheer up, man.
It could always be worse out there.
Nowadays, we tend to take everything for granted. In times like this, I just thank God I've got a warm home.
