Perfect.

I am reading this book called I Am The Messenger. I have read it before and it is really fantastic. It's moving and touching, thought provoking and simple. It brings everything to the table intellectually. I cant get enough of it. Anywho, I was reading it tonight and a certain passage stood out to me so clearly that I just had to make note of it here, it said:
"Why me?" I asked God.
God says nothing.
I laugh and the stars watch.
It's good to be alive.

Wow. I have never agreed with something more. I swear I have felt this exact same way before, totally powerless but not afraid. Sometimes you know things are out of wack and you wish things were different but at the end of the day, you're okay and you feel happy with what little you have. That's really what this passage reiterated to me. Im so glad I was able to see this again and let it refocus my life.
