Life Changes

This has been quite the week at my apartment. On Tuesday someone on the fourth floor in my building shot a fire sprinkler and flooded 6 apartments and the lobby. Then on Wednesday one of my roommates  made the decision to drop out of college and go back home, so he did. These two moments helped me remember how small homework and personal possessions and college really are. When major trials come into our lives they help put things into perspective. That perspective that is otherwise easy to forget. It gives us the chance to step back from our normal worries and be grateful for everything that we have been given. Life changing moments happen in a split second but changing our lives takes the rest of the time. So, let's be grateful everyday when we wake up because each day is empty and can be filled with good deeds and gratitude. Life is so good, so let's enjoy the blessings that we have.
