Perspective

Writing by jennifer on Wednesday, 27 of June , 2007 at 1:47 am

For the last month or so, I’ve pretty much been feeling sorry for myself. Financial woes and health concerns have occupied my thoughts.   Overall, I’ve been quite an unpleasant person to be around.  Tonight it ends.    

You see…  This evening, a good friend put it in all perspective. She reminded me that the things going on in my life are bearable and that there are many other people out in the big blue world that are enduring so much more.  My problems are mostly transient and not really worth the mental energy I’ve put into them.

 Tahoe

So tonight, my thoughts are with my beloved Lake Tahoe and it’s citizens.  I ache for those who have lost their homes and property.  I fear for the creatures who call the woods around ‘Beautiful Blue’ their home.  And I hope that when the smoke clears, those affected can say, as I have this evening…  “Well, it could have been worse.”

I miss it so much right now.

The Girl Behind the Lens

I am a road tripping camera junkie trying to break free of the 9-5 work-week.

I am also a single mother to a teenage daughter who is trying to break free of me.

.... somehow, I don't think either of us will escape unscathed.
