today I realized just how thankful I am to be healthy, relatively happy and relatively sane. There are so many people who would kill to be in my shoes but can’t, won’t, don’t, haven’t gotten the help, support, love and kindness that they deserve to ease the troubles that they have. Some of my co-workers laughed at me and/or looked uncomfortable when I said I was thankful for what I had and that I was lucky enough to be in my situation. But to them these people are delinquents, drunks, abusers, addicts, stupid. But if the many facilities that once housed, fed, clothed, nursed and aided these people hadn’t been closed down due to lack of funding and other various reasons they might all be in different situations instead of buying booze and getting drunk to forget their worries. I hope they’ll all find something that will make them feel safe, happy and thankful too one day. soon. ▼
