Yes, I have to admit, it can be a powerful tool ... the Facebook status.
(did I just say that?)
Despite being in an incredibly fantastic place in my life, despite having so many great things coming together, I have been feeling a bit down the past several days.
Then, I saw a friend's status this morning.
It was so upbeat, so positive, so happy, so full of life.
Not unusual for this friend.
What made today's status different is she's sitting at Sloan-Kettering Hospital being treated for a brain tumor.
It breaks my heart that she has this continuous battle. Continuous, because she is a 2x brain tumor survivor already.
Now, that's a survivor!

Her bravery, strength, and positive attitude inspire me.
And keeps me mindful of God's blessings in my life ~ pulling me from a self-centered focus on the, relatively speaking, little things which otherwise would rob me of the joy that I have from the many wonderful things happening in my own life.
Happiness is, after all, a choice of focus.
