Okay, so I found out some really terrible news the other day. It wasn't happening to me, but I feel really bad about it. The person is one of my really good friends and my heart is just aching for her. I pray she finds the strength to deal with the tough road she has ahead of her.
All these things that are happening to her made me stop and think about my own life and things. It made me appreciate the things that I have right now. I need to worry less about all the dishes being done at the end of the night. I need to worry less about picking up all of those toys in the living room before I feel like I can "relax" and just watch tv or something. I need to stop trying to control every moment of my life and everyone else's life. I need to do a lot of things.
Life is way too short and precious to waste on the little stuff. You can be going along trying to make everything work and keep things together, and miss all the good stuff along the way. It sounds really dumb to quote the whole stopping to smell the roses, because with my luck, there'd be a bee waiting to sting my nose, but I want to feel optomistic like that. I want to look at the glass as half full and not half empty or blaming someone for taking milk out of the glass.
Is it impossible to change the perception that people have of you or is impossible to change the view that you have of yourself?
