Putting Things into Perspecitve

On a more sober note, we often go though life feeling frustrated at the most mundane things, being impatient where a bit of understand would have done wonders, and in my case generally being stubborn and argumentative. Sometimes though things happen which really put things into perspective.

I just heard from JC the most terrible news - that a close friends of hers as well as a close relative are both dying. I stayed with JC over the summer and spent some time with her family which was wonderful fun, and she is really one of the liveliest, bubbliest people I have ever know, and her family were completely wonderful. To think of this happening, it completely stopped me in my tracks. Given situations like this, life's petty squabbles seem a lot less fundamental.
