I’m sitting here sipping coffee and clicking on links and reading a little facebook and twitter stuff and decided to click over to the Oatmeal and was sorta not really paying attention. Typical for me (needs coffee).

Then I read one of his more recent items, called When your house is burning down, you should brush your teeth.

Cats, funny stuff, and then along the way the tears start to come, and it’s like getting hammered by a bus while walking across the street. I was going to send a snarky comment to twitter about this comic but that was before I got to the burning embers.

Count your blessings. I hear this in so many ways in so many strange and wonderful places. It is, along with my “breathe” mantra, what keeps me going many days.

Thanks again, Matthew.
