Grateful for the things I have, not what I want!

iT'S been quite a rough past week, probably worst week i've had in a while, and its all over my damn hair! (pardon my french :)
I found myself awaken around 3 a.m everyday for the past week, only to think about my hair, will it ever grow back?, what did I do to deserve it?,how much worst is it gonna get?, all this over tears, well at least no one seen me .
I woke up this morning did my normal things around the house and decided to enjoy the fresh air out in my yard.
As i'm sitting down here comes this stray cat that I have been feeding for 2 years now due to someone throwing him out.(I call him Sam) Sam jumps on my lap and just stares into my eyes which spooked me,,lol anyhow while i'm petting him i think look at you Sam, helpless,homeless,depending on me to feed you, what life is that? and here I am crying over STUPID hair, things could be a whole lot worst!!!
After thinking that I called the ASPCA and decided to do good for one that was suffering and am happy to say that Sam will now have a home as of next Friday!

I know that not having much hair to no hair at all is very tough,,I am there like many of you, BUT if you look around abit you'll see that some people have it so much worst than you do,(even tho my story was that of a cat but still).Homeless people, terminally ill people and so forth.
So for this I have learned, " BE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT YOU HAVE AND NOT WHAT YOU WANT!!!

May you all have a fantastic week-end!! Love you all :)

Hi girls,
Lucey i'm sorry your going through that especially at such a young age,I know you will get through this,you'll face some ups and downs as i'm sure you know but it will get better!! so keep the chin up :)
Lynne,it's sad that others have it worst than us,much more painful than what we are going through,and so for that I am grateful its only a thing called "HAIR" that I have a problem with.
Dont get me wrong,it brings me down quite abit,altho I try my best to to think positive its hard just like it is for everyone I am sure, but I do have my good days and I know i'll get through it.
God Bless and have a great day!
