In This Life

Alright.
Well today seems to be day 467 of renovations on my house and a few walls came down in the basement today and a very large amount of dust was emitted and it went all over the fucking house. Three stories of dust -- and there was a lot. At one point I couldn't see 5 feet in front of me. The smoke detectors were going on and off for about an hour. I had to stand outside because I couldn't breathe in the house -- and anyone who knows anything about winter in Canada will know that it was really fucking cold outside. Needless to say; today was horrid. The neighbours were probably clueless to what was going on -- seeing that large amounts of dust were seeping out of open windows and doors all over. It looked as though something had caught fire. What a day.
But today got me thinking about my life. Everything so far has been sort of handed to me; I have a lot more than most people -- and for that I'm very grateful. But I really do feel that I'm one of those people who have a lot but can survive on very little. I've never had to really work for anything I have which, to some people, makes me look like one of those really spoiled people. But I'm really not. i hate it when people call me spoiled because I may have a lot more than I need but I use it all; and if it all disappeared tomorrow I could cope with it. We should all just want what we have and not have what we want in this life.
Well that's just another day in the life of Matt.
