So sometimes we get wrapped up in what's happening to us. Yes, it really sucks that my adult bonus kids and the 14 year old have disowned their dad & myself. It hurts my heart and my son is hurting. But when I think about how things could be much worse, we could have bigger fish to fry - like serious illness, I stop and think ya know, I really can't feel sorry for myself. I just read this article by Jada Pinkett Smith who is losing her hair & it brought me right back to that...
Pinkett Smith said she tried to put the problem in perspective. “I really had to put it into a spiritual perspective, like the higher power takes so much from people. People are out here with cancer. People have sick children. I watch the higher power take things every day,” she explained. Looking at it from that context “really did settle me,” she added.
