A Time for Reflection...

Hi All my Friends(around the world),
Here comes that time of the year, where I like to really reflect on my life, who I am, what I want to accomplish etc.
I always make a New Year's Resolution, but most of those things, I never get around to accomplishing, one way or another. For whatever reason. I guess for me, I like to not be too trite, and take more of a spiritual look at my life, and take stock.
I know I live in a land of immense plenty, wonderful job oppourtunities, wonderful housing, good healthcare etc. Well, I know that there are those that might not agree wholeheartedly with my assessment, but I know that in other parts of the world, there is the exact opposite...extreme poverty, no healthcare, no jobs, no housing etc. And I know that even in Canada, there are those that live in extreme poverty. I can go back to my childhood before my adoption, and remember not having enough to eat, and once, even taking bingo chips(that resembled money to my eyes) and going to a corner grocery store, and trying to buy food with those bingo chips. Sadly, the store owner couldn't get me anything, and so I left, even hungrier. At times, I had to resort to walking into people's homes, and taking stuff from their cupboards and fridges, or if I couldn't do that, eating food from the ground, and garbage cans(eating scraps where ever I could find any). Those are hard memories to have to remember, so I always try to be thankful for all the things I do have today. But at least in this country, we have so much agencies, foodbanks, shelters, to assist those of us, who might need it. Where am I going with these thoughts? I don't know. I just want us to remember those less fortunate, and to take stock to what is important and what is not.
It's not important for me to get carried away, wasting things, and striving for silly things. I need to evaluate my needs, and see what is important and what is not. I need to gain self control and really think about my future. I don't even know what I wanna do when I grow up...which is funny, as I am 32, and all grown up, although I usually don't feel that way. What does my future bring? Well at least, I know who holds MY future(He lives upstairs)...

My jumbled thoughts...
