Blown Away

So, I hope this post makes sense. I had a long list of things to say, but I don't want to embarass anybody by being too specific. I've just been overwhelmed lateley with all the examples of people being great, going the extra mile, and helping and loving other people! I've seen so many friends, relatives and neighbors do amazing things lateley!

For several months all I've heard is nutty stuff about big corporations and people being horrible, cheating, lieing, and letting people down. It's a bit of a grim outlook on life, but it's true. Lots of bad things are happening in the world. It's hard not to get caught up in the whole mess.

These last few weeks I've been overwhelmed by so many people I've seen doing amazing things and showing such kindness for others! There are a lot of people doing a lot of nice things for neighbors, friends and family and even people they don't know! I've been so impressed by fathers going the extra mile to serve others and their own families even when it's hard and the world would tell them they don't have to. I've been so impressed by friends helping each other and being there for each other. I've been so impressed by mothers who love and serve their familes, friends and nieghbors when it might seem like their own lives are extremely challenging and the world wouldn't expect anything more than the absolute necessities from them. I've been so impressed by people who are willing to help each other with whatever they need regardless of lack of recognition, time factors, etc. Even the little things make a huge difference! People are and we all can be so great! Keep loving and serving! I hope I can follow these great examples!

I do have the right to embarass one person on my list. I'm so thankful for Tyler and all the great things he does. He's got so much on his plate and the med school world seems to whirr around him with constant constraints on his time and energy. In the midst of all that he still finds time to do what's important - serve others and love his family. We both know and freely admit that our lives aren't balanced like we would like them to be, but Ty still has a great way of sacrificing to make things great for other people. I can't explain with words how lucky I feel to be his wife! I love you Ty!
