I am happy

Some days the awareness of the sanctity and sacredness of life brings me to my knees with gratitude. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the idea that the little girl from Mississippi who grew up holding her nose in an outhouse now flies on her own plane — my own plane! — to Africa to help girls who grew up like her.

Think of what you had ten years back. And then think of now. You’ll be surprised at how life has rewarded you and also amazed at how you’ve been ignoring it the whole time.
