Back from Moldova

I haven't blogged in a while, but here goes:

Some of the best advice I have gotten has come at times when I would never expected. Recently at a wedding that I did not plan to go to until the day before, I met a man from California. Sometimes you just run into the right people and I tell ya this guy looked me in the eye pretty much out of nowhere--like I was all "Hi I'm Peter, are you related to the bride?"-- and he was like "no, but listen, everyday is a gift a chance to make a difference a change. Wake up every morning and thank God... for a bed, for health, family, car, whatever just thank him." 

Maybe it was because I really was surprised that it sticks out or the fact that it basically just happened, but that is not important. What he said resonated with me, and I think I've woken up with that idea in mind everyday since then.
