Perspective

The last couple of days have been so crazy, haven't they?  If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you know we had a little incident involving our car yesterday.  A freak thing.  My husband took my car to work and parked it in the parking lot like usual.  About midday, someone came in to say a car had burst into flames in the parking lot.  Mine happened to be parked right next to it.   This is what happened:

After I got the text from my husband, I was instantly angry that we would have to deal with insurance, repairs, the whole thing.  Then I almost instantly felt insanely guilty that I felt so upset about something so trivial.   Everyone was safe, no one was injured.  It is just a silly car.

A shift......perspective.

With everything that is going on around the world everyday, and particularly in Oklahoma this week. Something so small seems like such an insignificant thing to be upset about.  We have to deal with a melted bumper, while people are dealing with losing loved ones, their homes, and possessions.  

A shift......perspective.

I thought I would list some great ways to help out everyone in Oklahoma.  I know money is tight for everyone these days.  But some of these shops have beautiful things that would make great gifts for yourself or someone else, and they are donating proceeds to help OK.
