I met a lady at Mass who lost her way in life. She is begging God to take her home. She is young, but has had a hard life. Her parents put her up for adoption when she was a newborn. She traveled thru a ton of foster homes, and was abused by some of the men there. After leaving the system, she worked for a large corporation that is now bankrupt. She worked her entire life there. She knows no other life. Her co-workers were her family. She married, but her husband dropped dead on the golf course when he was about 30 something.

So, she has no children. No family to speak of. No employment benefits. No unemployment benefits - they have run out. She has sold most of her belongings online and at flea markets.

She is living with uncontrollable Chrones Disease. She can't tell anyone the last time she showered, washed her hair, shaved her legs, or even go to the bathroom in peace. She hasn't been to the doctor since loosing her benefits. She hasn't taken medicine in years for her Chrones Disease.

So, my affirmation for today is the many blessings I have. I see what can happen to anyone of us at any time. I want everyone of us to have healthcare benefits. To live in the United States is such a wonderful gift. We just need to iron out the differences, and get the ball rolling. We need to fix our healthcare system once and for all. We are all so blessed to wake up alive, and with air in our lungs.
