"Things We Lost In The Fire"

This morning I was at home all by myself. I spent the time watching the movie "Things We Lost In The Fire " with actors Halley Berry and Benicio Del Toro. The story is very touching. It brings people together for a variety of reasons. There was a fire, but the movie is about so much more than the things that were lost in that fire. It's about being a good human being, love, friendship, believing in a person with a troubled present, understanding, helping out, and to accept the good. It's about everything else than material things in life.

I believe strongly in appreciating what I have, not grieving over what I've lost. My young man tells me every now and then that he misses the car he threw up on his pre-school's roof and it got stuck several years ago. I always tell him to be happy about all the cars he has, instead of being sad over a single car he lost.
