So lets see...this weeks lesson was about gratitude. After experiencing excruciating waves of pain all week long, punctuated by daily trips to the ER, my first restful night of sleep in a week was interrupted by a 6.1 trembler centered 10 miles from where Cheri, Lucas and I were staying. Instinctively, I covered my sleeping son with my body as my wife screamed. I had the distinct thought that my number was up, as wine bottles, glass, mirrors, and anything not nailed down crashed and thrashed about the house for what seemed an interminable amount of time. Once it finally subsided, we were left with the piercing car alarms and neighbors wandering the street to make sure everyone was okay. All the petty concerns that I had been obsessing over prior to last week have just melted away and all Im left with is this feeling of bliss, grateful to have been granted another go at this thing called life.
