2 Blogs in one day? Unheard of.

I really don't know why I am writing again. Possibly because I'm bored and there is nothing else to do.  I've already organized, re-organized, vacuumed and dusted my dorm. I've been busy until now.  So, I guess I'll just write what has been on my mind lately.

It's been about 2 weeks since my purse was stolen and although that caused me a little trouble, it made me realize a few things.  I had to live for a week with no cash, no credit card, and no debit card.  This made me realize how insignificant material possessions are.  Sure there were some things I wanted to buy that week (gum, diet coke :), etc...), but nothing that I really needed.  I did just fine and even though I have my cards and cash back, I've only bought groceries once and it was the least amount I've spent on groceries since I've been here.

The whole experience made me realize how wasteful and unappreciative people have come to be.  Not all people, maybe just me.  But, if there was something that I could learn from the situation, it is just to not take anything for granted.  Be thankful for every minute you get to spend with somebody, be thankful every time somebody helps you out, and just everything that happens in your life - the good and the bad.  That's easier said than done and as cliche' as it is, so I hate what I'm about to say but it's true, everything happens for a reason.  The reason will be unveiled eventually.
