Afghanistan Through My Eyes

Today was total procrastination. I should be preparing.

Mentally, I'm totally not prepared to go. I really want to go. But I know in my heart I'm not ready. It would be good if I got my orders and only had two weeks to think about it. I guess being a writer I function better on deadlines.

I had written a whole other piece for this blog, but then found this video. It reminded me that life is about perspective. We all need an adjustment.

Tonight when you sleep in your comfortable warm bed, kiss your mate or children, aren't hungry and have a job to wake up to tomorrow or just plain get to wake up, remember it could be a lot different.
