It's Always Something

I was so happy to have my Fafsa stuff situated but the past couple days have been frustrating.
My dog barked at me like he didn't like me and finally decided to warm up today and take a
nap with me. I was working on a video that wouldn't render properly and it frustrated me so
much. I just wanted to make it and turn it in, done deal but no. My workout regimen is so off
right now and I still haven't been to the beach yet.

Note to self: In the midst of a bad day there's still plenty to be thankful and grateful for.
My puppy is healthy, I have what I need to make the videos. I have what I need to workout, I have enough vision to see and appreciate pictures of the beach and it's possible to get there in an 1 hour.

I can't stand when people say it could always be worse... So I say to myself and everyone
else. Look how good it really is. I know the situation you're in may really be hectic, saddening,
stressful, scary, or any other negative adjective you can whip up. Say how much it sucks and add
up what makes it suck. When you add it up it won't seem so bad.

A guy once asked me if I had ever had a child who had been killed. No I haven't and my heart goes
out to all those who have. I told him that and asked if he'd ever asked a 30 year old barren woman with a husband who left her and a family who shunned her because of it the same question. He seemed quite perplexed.
My reasoning was. Yes, loosing a child is a terrible experience but at least they were able to have one.
They were able to experience at least the joy of being a mother for one moment. The joy some will never have. He understood and so do I. I can only imagine how hard someone else's life is and they can only imagine or have a glimpse through what I share but in the end we all have our own private
struggles and pains. If we truly look at the pain I believe it's possible to find peace in the midst of it.
