Today would have been my brother Brian's 37th birthday. He passed away in June 2011, but I still thought of him today. He wasn't big on birthdays from what I remember and that's OK. I looked at his Facebook page a few times today and clicked through his photos. I just let myself be sad and miss him. I hope all of us who loved him took the time today to remember him.
I also was reminded today how much we take for granted. I've been a bit guilty of whining that right now with trying to sell the house (the most annoying thing I've experienced, I swear) and finding Jackson a job is the worst time of my life. Honestly, it has been more stressful than I wish I let it be. Just when I got really down on myself I got the sad news that a family friend was diagnosed with cancer today. We'll certainly be praying for and thinking of that family. The news hit me hard because here I was feeling bad for myself about pretty petty things when someone else got actual tough news today. I decided to take a step back and just appreciate what is going well.
