I am not that mindful today and barely prayed. Lots of emotions in the house from hubby. Sigh. May he heal. Gratitude and facing and accepting this world are keys. It is not easy to be human. We need so many things, and mostly sheleter, food and love and health care.
When we lack some of these, life is definitely miserable.
And yes, it sucks that we are victims of this world's conditions at times, but it is our personal kamma each time, when we face harsh conditions, if that ever helps you accept it.
