I Shall Not Complain

The best thing about windows is that it gives us the ability to get a sneak peak of what is going on outside. I woke up this morning with the bubble guts. You can only imagine the distorted faces I was making while squabbling into the fetal position to find some sort of temporary comfort for the pain. I rolled directly in the sunlight path from the sky light in my loft causing it to catch my eyes at the most unwanted time. As I get up, I grab my Blackberry Torch. This trip to the royal throne might be longer than planned. 

As I enter the royal room where my throne awaits, I thought to myself "Man its a nice day outside. What am I going to wear? S**t, should I call out of work?" It's something about beautiful weather in VA that has me addicted. 

Glancing over my timeline on twitter, I see multiple tweets about Japan & Hawaii and how people are praying for them. As I pull up my CNN app, my heart immediately drops. Another natural disaster. My heart & prayers go out to them. Japan has experienced a horrible earthquake of a 8.9 magnitude, which in turn triggered multiple Tsunamis to hit the country as well as America's land of Hawaii. In realizing this natural disaster, is out of my hands all I can do is pray for them and leave it for the most high. I will not dwell on how i can fix it because I can't. But there is one thing I can fix...my attitude.

I had an attitude with the sun shining directly in my crusty eyes when I rolled over. Here I am complaining about one of the most precious gifts given...light. I bet you those people who are trapped under buildings, cars, and houses would love to be able to see and feel the sunlight - - - I SHALL NOT COMPLAIN.

People lost their loved ones to strong winds, water, and shaken ground - - - I SHALL NOT COMPLAIN.

Mother's are crying for their daughters, daughters crying for their Fathers and Fathers praying for their sons - - - I SHALL NOT COMPLAIN.

Power plants and buildings with people in them are being tossed like toys - - -  I SHALL NOT COMPLAIN. 

For the lower class family who had barely had a wall to hold on to who has been stripped down to nothing at all - - - I SHALL NOT COMPLAIN. 

For the kid who can no longer dance because his legs were crushed by trees, - - - I will dance for your will - - - I SHALL NOT COMPLAIN.

For the little girl who aspired to be a writer when she grew up was killed on the train ride home from school because the earthquake shook Japan's metro - - - I will live out your dream baby girl therefore - - - I SHALL NOT COMPLAIN.
