Thanks . . . I Needed That! May 27, 2010

Yesterday proved to be more than I could handle on my own:
* Not enough sleep the night before.
* Early morning testing in a sterile, harsh laboratory setting ~ instead of gradual awakening in natural sunlight.
* Seeing undercover video documenting intentional and sadistic cruelty toward blameless and defenseless calves and cows.
* Watching the devastation occurring beneath the surface of the usually turquoise seas of the Gulf of Mexico.
Everywhere I looked, I saw negatives.
Until I changed my focus ~ aided by uplifting comments received both here and on Facebook.
Yes, there are horrors in the world. But there is also much to be grateful for.
Today is a new day. And we should rejoice in it!
THANKS!
