First, a question: would it be nice to have a million dollars or would it destroy us? We always read these stories about how so-and-so won the Lotto, and from that point, their life went down the drain. It makes me think that there are people out there who are dirt-rich, but on the inside, lonely, sad, depressed, miserable. As far as I can see, though, it doesn't matter how much you have. It seems the secret to enjoying life is seeing what you do have and being grateful for it. And in some cases, seeing the potential in what you have an growing it. Like a talent. A skill. An idea. Would it be so bad to run with an idea for a while and see what happens? Obviously, it depends on the idea. But I'm sure these things have been said a million times before.
Moving on.
What I really want to talk about is my condition. Am I healthy? I don't know. My stomach had been bothering me, so I decided to go to the doctor. Got an X-ray. He found something a little off about the appearance of my gall bladder. But I have to go back and get a camera stuck down my nose and down there to see what's going on. A little personal? Yes, it is. Am I worried? Well, that's a loaded question because I believe in thinking positively about a situation. I believe in expecting the best, expecting things to be okay. And I believe that positive expecations help bring about positive results. Others think it's better to prepare for the worst, so that way they can be relieved when they find out everything is okay. I can't live that way!! I don't want to anticipate every thing in my life with fear and worrying. As far as I'm concerned, that would only cause more health problems. SO...I'm looking forward and expecting the best. If the result is different from what I expect, then we'll go from there. I believe in the power of our minds. I believe in healing without doctors. I believe that miracles still happen. Of course, I'm grateful for doctors, too, and they have helped me on MANY OCCASIONS. Speaking of which, I've been taking some medicine for the last week to relieve/alleviate my stomach pain. It's really helped a lot!! So, there you have it. Thank God for doctors, too!
On another note, I'm STILL in JAPAN. Some people maybe thought I'd have come back by now. Or that I'd be coming back soon. Others have been freaking out (I suppose) thinking that the whole country is going to fall into the ocean. Don't believe everything you watch on TV!! It is a POSSIBILITY, but we cannot predict the time such a thing would happen. We can only speculate. And as far as other points are concerned, I really do feel MUCH SAFER here than in Sketchmonton!! Don't get me wrong; I love that city. I love the bubble tea and the festivals and the farmer's markets, and the dynamic personalities. But that doesn't stop the fact that the panhandlers seem to multiplying like zombies. Yes, they are people! But if you want to keep someone crippled, you keep giving them a crutch to stand on. Thankfully, there are places and organizations trying to feed them and clothe them and address the CORE of the problem, not just toss money. Don't misunderstand me! I love people and I believe in helping, but the WAY to help someone is key in their recovery. How do I know that? Because I'm human, too, and aware of my state.
How did I get on this rant anyway?
Think about it. And until next time....bye!
