Thank you! I make a conscious effort to pray to thank God for my blessings, rather than just asking for things. When all seems lost, sometimes we forget the good. The near-miss car accidents, the fact that family and friends still with us are still alive.

I always feel bad when someone dies everyone has regret for not doing more, or interacting more, or anything like that. Sometimes I close my eyes and imagine a terrible thing, only to come back to myself and realize that could have been reality but it's not. And that reminds me of the blessings that God gives us that we often don't think about.

I think of it like people complaining about getting a traffic ticket. How many cops watched you speed that you didn't see, but they let it go? There are powerful forces from all sides that are always at play and we're not always aware of and it manifests in every level of life. From the intimate life, to societies at large, to the world in and of itself.
