I couln't find a good copy of this video but I always find myself singing this song to myself on days like this. Even if this isn't your cup of tea you should give it a listen... it always makes me happy!
Last night Chris and I decided to explore the alleyways of Haidian... Out of respect I didn't take many pictures, but we wandered into a large neighborhood of single-room housing units. It was noisy, filthy, and smelled of human waste so strongly that we couldn't breathe.
It just makes me realize how fortunate I am. It's makes all of my worries seem so small and insignificant. It reminds me to be thankful for the little things.
And I wonder, do these people have moments where life is good? Is there happiness and laughter in a place like this? There are so many things that we take for granted that are missing from this picture... I just wonder.

Just read your new post. Loved the song!
I greeted you good morning, you were just rustling out of bed,off to the market is what you said. I let you go to begin your day. Mine was comming to an end I had little to say. I said a little prayer and wished you well. Little did I know; the night before you had walked through hell. No there is nothing that you can do. Except maybe a prayer and letting your light shine through.

Thanks :O)
I was crying as I wrote this one.
The experience will stay with me quite a while... and be a reminder to me that LIFE IS GOOD.
