I Was Upset

...that the guy didn't hear Cliff say "large" when we ordered chili cheese tots at Sonic, that I couldn't find any tissue to blow my nose with, that my throat was dry and itchy and has been causing coughing fits all day, and that there wasn't enough vanilla in my vanilla coke.

And then by way of FlowerDust, I happened upon this video:



Perspective isn't the word... I feel small.



I am grieving and wishing that I didn't have to run to the grocery store less than a mile away from our apartment in just a few minutes because on every box, down every aisle, in every cart, I will see the images of children just like Sam and Esther and know how little I am doing.

I want to do more.

I'm blown away.... watching this as MTV's cribs is playing on the TV in the background. It breaks my heart!

I know what to watch when I can't seem to humble myself on my own!

How dare we complain about anything?!
