This 27 lives for you

I'm listening to: "Cycling Trivalities" by Jose Gonzalez

I lost my job today (yes I had a real job) happened about 1 hour ago.

I have a wife a child who visits the doctor frequently. I live in a great condo on Fort Lauderdale beach. The Honda Element and Hyundai Santa fe are our two vehicles of choice....I can't forget about my beloved Honda Met. Electricity, water, cell phones, internet.....all things we have found to be a necessity. My daughter......and all of her new born expenses....allthough if she were to read this, she would tell you that she is not a newborn anymore. I feel so weird.....this has never happened to me before.....all I can think of is....

Life is beautiful.

So many people in Swaziland and across the globe have it so much worse than I do. Instead of thinking of how they will pay for their amazing lifestyles, they think about how they will find clean water in the next 30 minutes.

Life is beautiful.

I can only be excited about this new chapter.....this fresh season of anticipation and nervousness. I am not alone...I can feel your approach.

Thanks for being our friends.

Wow,you are an amazing person Josh. One hour later many people would be pacing, fretting, worrying, angry... but you are remembering those who are so much less fortunate. That's because they have been in your heart all along. You have never lost perspective, and that is why you see it so clearly now. I am so sure of the dreams God has put within you, and He will bring them all to pass. As always my son, we are here for you in every way needed and we will cheer you on. We love you dearly, Mom
