Last 48 Hours

A couple days ago there was an innocedent on the plane invaulving a passenger that I felt I had to fill out paper work for just in case something comes of it, the company will have my side of the story. I was in a pretty losy mood for the rest of the day after wards.
However, today was exactly what I needed. Though I didn't start out in the best of moods (but I never do when I have to be up at 4:30am). I ran into a captain that strongly believes I'm wrong to believe in what I do (church wise) and I'm so tired of being told I'm wrong (there's a few others that have expressed such things to me as well at work).
However at work shortly after that I did a bunch of Tucson turns where since they are only 20 minutes we don't serve. So I sat talking to a couple passengers and had some really good conversations and the passgeners expressed apperication that I talked with them.
There was one couple that really gave me a wake up call. I don't know their names (since I didn't ask and they didn't say) so I'll call them Sally and Jim. When Sally was six months old she had her right eye removed cause of cancer.
She and Jim had a little girl who at five months old got the same cancer, but luckily was able to beat it and keep her eyes. She beat it last October.
Then April of this year Sally's mom and their daughter was killed in a car accident. Then next day Sally gave birth to another little girl. This little girl is now three months and she has the cancer in both of her eyes as well.
The car that hit killed their daughter and Sally's mom the driver was driving on a suspended license for the seventh time. But apparently since there was no drugs or drinking problems at any time he only got a misterminer.
So see and talk to this couple was a real eye opener. With every thing that they've had to deal with, overcame and deal with now, they still are able to keep their head above water and put their faith in love in God.
It also showed me that no matter what life gives us to also remember to count our blessings. That's something I don't very much. When tough times come I tend to dwell in pitty and sorrow. It's something I need to try harder not to do.
Count your blessings, something I'm going to try to work on alot more now.
So in the last 48 hours I went from horrible to pretty good.

Slight Update

Well the results of my Uncle's brain tumor is not good. Mom said he told her they gave him three months to two years to live. But he won't overcome it. It's a death sentence. Great and now I'm crying.

Life just gets better and better (stated with sarcasim)

Well last couple weeks have been both stressful and emotional. I got check rided at work and now have to have a meeting about what the check rider said. I don't think I'll be in big trouble or really any, but they just have to go over it with me. Also I found out that one of my uncles has a brain tumor and was just told day that my grandpa was colon cancer.
I'm so tired of all these one more things that's been happening to me in the last couple of years. It doesn't seem like it was that long ago that life was breezy. Then I moved to Arizona and the flood gates opened.
I'm emotionally drained and in major need of a break or some kind of get away. I wish I could just go somewhere where no one could find me, and all the bad that has happened would have no effect on me cause I wouldn't know about it.
I mean I'm glad to be informed, but I wish that there was a way to see it through without wanting to scream at the top of my lungs and pull my hair out!
