A little Friday morning perspective

This morning on the train I was looking over this woman's shoulder as she was typing on her Bberry - because I am a bit of a creepy voyeur - and here is what I saw her write.

I have had a hard couple of months or so. My dad died in June and then two weeks later I found out I was losing my job.

I don't know if I believe in God, but I do believe that the universe has a way of speaking to us in its own subtle ways. This was the universe's way of either 1) telling me to notice how amazing my life is, or 2) giving me the heads up that terrible things happen to everyone, and that life is hard, and that I should be prepared.

Duly noted.

Until next time.

PS, I really hope it's the first one?
