i scroll down my news feed. i look at the news on tv. i hear the stories on the radio. i read some posts. im reminded of some important things. i dont have an easy life by all means. i struggle physically everyday to do even the little things. i have pain everyday not just in my leg but all over my body. im facing amputation. i dont have enough money. i lost alot because of poor choices. so let the pity party begin....right? wrong. i enjoy the little things in life no matter what. i have hope. i can enjoy the beauty of the sunrise and sunset. i can watch little birds play. i can laugh and smile at byrklee weston living a simple life. i can admire the intricate detail of a flower or a real snowflake. i can enjoy the colors of fall and spring. i can watch the clouds. years ago, i saw none of these things. i appreciated nothing or no one. i let my short life pass me by. i have a choice today.....live it or loathe it. im sure that many get tired of my sappiness and optimism. i REFUSE to let things bring me down or ruin my day like some do. i could play the victim role. nope. im not laying in a bed dying of cancer right now. im not living in a war zone. im not wondering if my friend or family member is dead or alive right now. im not wondering where my next meal will come from. im not living out of my car tonight in the cold. are my struggles real? yep. could they be worse? yep. do i care if others are tired of hearing my optimism? nope. do i hope to inspire others? absolutely!
