Another one....

Not that anyone reads this....so I almost forgot about this thing. Just thought I'd take a break from my usual crazy ass life and write a little message in this thingamagiggy. Not much is new. I am still at the U. I just started my clinical preceptorship in bone marrow transplant at LDS Hospital. I want to mention how happy I am that I am healthy. It is interesting to me what silly things we all get caught up in, or pissed off at, throughout our day and then I go to work or to clinicals and I see people that are on the verge of dying with the best attitude. Makes all of that other shit seem trivial. It really is. It is interesting how people become so concerned about the house they live in, the car they drive, the things they wear and own. I just want to say how fortunate I am to have a roof over my head and a floor to sleep on at night, because when it all comes down to it no one actually takes any of these things with them when they die. It's the experiences that you have and the people that you love that really matter. If everyone could just focus more on the things that really matter and realize how important a kind smile or word is, instead of what Brittany Spears is up to or what new car is out the world would be a better place. My dad told me this story once about a neighbor who justified his new Mercedes because he "worked hard for it". My dad walked away from the conversation thinking about the people in Japan working for Walmart. They work 16 hour days making $2 an hour. Where is their Mercedes? Just a thought for the day.
