Keeping Perspective

Filed Under: grateful, perspective, positivity // February 23, 2013

T informed me that there is a Sailor who became separated from the Sailor’s unit during an open ocean training mission in Hawaii earlier this week. (See Navy Sailor Missing off Kaena Point, Oahu and UPDATE: Coast Guard, Navy, local crews continue search for missing sailor)
It helps me keep perspective that no matter how far T is right now, any distance is better than never having met him or not having him in my life. So today, I am grateful for everyone and everything I have in life no matter how difficult trivial issues might seem the moment they pop up.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Sailor’s family xo

    Most definitely 🙁 And thank you- I had a rough few past days but I made myself realize that distance is better than other situations in the grand scheme of things 🙂
