Here is to the (not) lucky ones

 

We are lucky. I am lucky.  

Just reading now all details out there of what has been going on in Palestine or Israel-Gaza.. 

But also, just listening to a real life crime/investigation podcast (maybe too much).

It is as worrying as it is entertaining.

My conclusion is, I’m too preoccupied for small things.. I’m so lucky to be able to go for a walk in the forest each morning and be able to see the mountains and the 4 seasons evolve through the year through my window.

It’s so easy to lose perspective of things.  I have myself gone in the last months through a period of self-doubt, of wondering if I’m in the right place, if I made the right decision at work, if I should change.. but the fact is, that is a problem for the lucky ones.

I’m not saying this is not important.  I’m not saying this should not be important to me.  But, it does rank the issue in a different place when you compare it with other bigger issues like.. am I surviving another day?  Do I have enough water to not dehydrate and eventually die?  Is a missile going to be launched tonight and I will die?  Am I depress that I wont be able to take it anymore and I will die?

Here is to the lucky ones.  Here is to the not so lucky ones.  We are with you, or at least I am.
