♥ it's rainy & cold, i want to be alone.
this weather makes me all sorts of lazy. yes, there are many types of lazy. don't argue.
anyways,
i started to watch camp rock when i got home from work today, don't judge me, when this commerical on disney channel came on. it was about a girl who got to ride an elephant at the summer camp she was at. it was summer camp for special needs children.
if there is one thing on earth that gets me crying, it's anything involving special needs children. now, granted the commercial was a happy one, i still cried.
in the morning we wake up, we almost always think we are guaranteed tomorrow and we live the day without taking the time to appreciate what we have. these children aren't promised tomorrow, and have no guarantee's for anything. yet they wake up everyday and are so happy. they are happy to be alive, and some may live short lives, but their lives are probably lived way better then others. we constantly complain. complain about how our hair isn't doing the right thing, or so and so got a new car and blah blah blah.
these children spend more then half their time in hopsitals, they are constantly poked with needles, they go through so much, yet complain so little.
i don't know if i'm making any sense. but whatever. some of the happiest moments in my life were the ones i spent with special needs children. they taught me so much, and let me see life the way God intended us to see it. to have gotten the opportunity to spend time with these children has changed my life completely. i will never be the same, but it's a good change.
so here i was, sitting in my living room, in the pitch black darkness, wrapped in a pink blanket, crying like a baby because a little girl got to ride an elephant that she was originally scared of. and she was happy.
i don't know if it's the PMS or what. i'm taking a nap.
