I have posted here in a long time but there really hasn't been much for me to say but I just wanted to bring up something that's been on my mind and has been a huge help to me when life piles on top of me. As I write this I'm going trough one of those stages where it's just really getting to me that I'm alone, I don't mean totaly alone I just have no signifacnt other in my life right how and I haven't had one is what seems like forever and I get very lonely sometimes and if I dwell on it and start feeling sorry for myself I get depressed and not to minimize what me and the rest of you go through in out lives. We all have trials of one type or another and some of them can be totally overwhelming. But when things start to get to me I stop and consider all the things I have in my life that others don't Here I sit in my air conditioned room at 72 degrees in Phoenix in the middle of summer when there are those that spend every day out in the heat, I see them sitting by the side of the road sitting on an old dirty blanket waiting for a hand out from a stranger.
If I really stop and think about it there are so many things that I have to be grateful for granted I struggle with my health like many of us do but I don't have cancer I have all my arms and legs I live comfortably in a small appertment I always have enough to pay my bills and have groceries when may go hungry every night. I have a close loving family that looks out for eachother when many families in this country are fragmented and broken. The lost goes on and on I don't mean to minimize anyones suffering and I know that there are many pple that struggle with much worse things that I do I have health problems but I also have free healthcare and good doctors who look out for my best interst, many of you may not have that. The point is to try and find things in you life that you can be grateful for instead of living in a fantasy world of what I think the perfect life for me would be. Besides I'm not nearly dead yet so there is a good chance I will still find someone who truly loves me for who I am.
I invite all of you to at least list one thing that you can be grateful for I know it's hard to do sometimes when you are looking through eyes of pain but trust me there is always someone worse off than youI invite each of you to list at least one thing you can think of in your life that you can truly be grateful for.
