[QUOTE="Anaheimfan, post: 267101, member: 6263"] (*Disclaimer: I was in a perfectly normal frame of mind when I started the thread. Just figured I would try my hand at an article about enjoying life :blushing: *) I've spoke with my service Chaplain, and I spoke with my EMS Supervisor when I was there, and it helped me debrief, but I've been this way for as long as I can remember...But now it's just because I've seen what I have. I think I'm a bit too realistic for my own good. Jena, I agree completely, we do need to be careful of how we process information and things we see. How you react to a situation when it happens has a lot to do with how you deal with it once it's been dealt with. Personally, I think you even rationalized what could be perceived as pessimism (probably spelt wrong) as being aware, good on ya :happy: Daisy, I too expected something to happen on Y2k, figured the clock would hit 24 and that would be it, either that or planes would start falling out of the sky and the world would lose power. And as you said, we had no way of knowing it [B]wasn't[/B] going to happen. I know there's hope in the world whenever I see a group of kids planting trees or learning how to Conserve Wildlife or helping old ladies across the road. As I said, the good outweighs the bad. There's way more good stuff, like petting spending time with your pets, family and friends; Thunderstorms (I love'em I love'em I love'em), sunny days hiking through the bush, cloudy days sitting at the harbor, listening to some soft/uplifting music while you enjoy a cup of coffee or tea.
