Be Happy for What you Have...

So many people get bummed about the smallest things. They fret about the reactions of others, being lonely, late on bills, being broke before payday arrives, and so much more. Each day should be treasured and reflected upon another day of having your health and for having the freedom to drive around or even walk around.

I used to be bummed out over the little things in life and now more than ever, I am happy when I have a day where I can sit at a stop light (even the longest ones) or even the worst of traffic rather than being hooked to an IV pole in a hospital not knowing if I will ever be out of that hospital alive. So many people out there have it worse off than you do and they can still smile and be happy for what they do have. I once knew of this courageous woman a few years ago in my Cancer support group who for some unknown reason could laugh at things around her; she had the most uplifting voice and such a beaming personality and yet she had a colostomy bag and ileostomy bag for her urine. She would laugh about the whole process of having to clean the bag or being out in public when it would overfill and not be able to find a bathroom to change it. Imagine if those were your worries? She would have the whole room in tears but from laughter telling of her hillarius experiences. Sometimes it would overflow onto her garments, but she would never stress out about it. To her, it was just another experience in life to be thankful for. She had her grandkids and her children whom she was so thankful to be able to experience just being around. They made her smile everyday that she was alive. She lived another 5 more months, but those extra few months meant so much to her. Her husband told all of us that she was smiling when she passed.You may have financial worries, maybe a few health worries, social worries, stints of bad luck or so on, but these things always have a way of turning around; think of those experiences as tests that are put out there to make you stronger.

Do look ever look around you? Maybe you don't see much, but it is wealth to someone else who doesn’t have it. Hell, I am just happy when I have a day that I can drive, walk outside, and enjoy good Indian food, Thai food, sushi or what ever, even going to the bathroom normally. Those to me are blessings. Everyday is a good day especially when I can wake up next to the one I love; the true blessing in my life! Yes, I am married and happily at that. I wouldn’t be alive if it weren’t for him and the support he gives me and the support we give each other. I wouldn’t be around here to make others happy or to bring some sunshine in the world that really needs it. That’s how I look at it.

My husband and I are best friends and we put each other #1. If you still haven't found love or perhaps you have, just don’t go looking for her/him, she/he will find you. If you sign up for dating services online, just let it be. Your main purpose is to focus on the moment. How can I make this moment more enjoyable for me or the person next to me? When I found my love, I was doing something that I love when I first met my husband to be. I was having fun dancing in a night club and that may seem like the most unlikely place to find someone, but connection doesn’t discriminate. You can meet that connection anywhere where least expect it. You will know when you do!
