the katrina experience, for me, was not as bad as the experiences of others. i did not lose my home. nor, did i lose my family. except for a small hole in the roof of my house, there was no real damage.

that being as it was, katrina did affect me. seeing the damage done to new orleans, hearing about the people who lost their home, their families, their lives... it made me realize how blessed i was, and how ungrateful.

before katrina i used to complain about everything. i was so selfish i didn't even stop to notice the little things in life. seeing how hard all those people were hit. how much loss they experienced. i realized i had it good.

now, two years later, i don't complain as much. don't get me wrong. i still complain. but now i can see where i'm blessed. now i don't focus on the should'ves and why nots. now i see things clearer.
