There was a fire right by my house today and I heard about the families that now are homeless because of it. I feel for them, and I have faith that they will be taken care of. My street was like a public hot spot. It almost looked like Venice Beach with all the cars and people out there trying to get a look at the damage.
Most cars got redirected off the main street onto my block. I was out side talking with a neighbor about what was going on. As we watched the hoards of people flock by. It got me to thinking of how grateful I am to have a place. Where now so many people had lost their homes.
I also thought about all the homeless people who I know lurk around on the fringe, up and down the alleyways and even sub-economies where people live underground. I never knew that such places existed. Only on TV, but no these kinds of places are real.
This all started me to really think deeply about how grateful I am that those houses that were on fire were not my own. That I have a place to live and am not homeless like so many struggling in the streets of America. That I have a roof over my head, clothes on my back, and food in my refrigerator to eat and abundance of water to drink.
That I have a car (Which so happens to be a Lexus) to drive when so often do you see people walking or riding the bus or a bike who don't have one. I feel so grateful that I'm just living, breathing the fresh air of this Earth, and have the opportunity to do great things. Yes, as I now look upon my situation there is much to be grateful for.
I feel refreshed that since I've made it this far, it seem as if there's nothing I can't do. All the worry, self-doubt and finger-pointing is useless. Only a projection of selfish and ungratefulness. I see there's no time for complaints in a world that can be ripped away so suddenly. My only choice is to do my best and continue to relish each day that comes is a blessing.
The money I make is a stepping stone, to the feelings I may get from using it to bring light to the lives of others and myself. They say that people in the world can never find peace until they can find the present moment. Because it is always changing, but so in lies who we are.
I even feel grateful that I was able to communicate this! As some people do not possess hands nor fingers.

unless it's backed by what just might be an entirely possible truth. Well,
you have the chance now to make a dream come true by paying
attention to what your heart is telling you to do. Don't pass it up, but
don't stretch that truth any farther than you know it can go, either. And
do be prepared to wait. Unfortunately reality doesn't always happen as
quickly as dreams.
