a glimpse of sharon world...

just got back from adrienne's place a good ten minutes ago, where me and will watched life is beautiful. for all y'all out there who haven't seen the movie, i totally recommend it. it's such a great movie. but get the original version (spoken in italian) with the subtitles rather than the one that's dubbed over in english. i've seen both, and the subtitled version is the better one outta the two. :) it got me thinking about how blessed i am. how many blessings God has graciously given me.

i thought about how much i complained before - about res life, about my dorm room being so small...but really, those things are so incredibly trivial and stupid. i saw today a depiction of how life was for the people in concentration camps (a depiction. so things were most likely ever rougher in reality) and we're so lucky. we're so lucky that we don't need to go through stuff like that at the moment. we're so lucky that we can have nice beds to sleep on, clothes to wear, food to eat, a place to stay...the list goes on. we're so lucky to be living in a time and country where we don't have to worry about half the things that the people of the past have had to deal with...we're so blessed. i'm so blessed.

...and i don't even realize it half the time. do you?
