"G" & Grateful are the choices for today. Being grateful is to appreciate something, often in an expressive manner. I know I talk about this one a lot, but in my opinion, being grateful is fundamentally important to surviving this life with or without being +. I am a firm believer in certain platitudes.
- Things can always get worse
- Someone has it worse off than me
- Things tend to come back around
I hate TV shows when the characters ask, "what else could go wrong?" There is always something else that can go wrong. I think that kind of questioning invocation is just the type of thing you should never do if you don't want to see how things can get worse.
No matter where I stand in life, I do my best to be grateful for what I have. Some times I can be a real Debbie-Downer on this one, but I do know that I have a lot to be grateful for in my life. I do not have children dependent upon me. I am not homeless. I have my meds. All the while, there are many people out there far less fortunate than myself, whether they're + or not.
I do think things tend to come back around like a boomerang. I believe that if you are kind & gracious, the world is more apt to be so to you in return. Likewise, I believe that if you constantly show your ass & refuse to be grateful for anything, those things too will come back into your life.
Instead of focusing on all those things you don't have, take some time & focus on those things that you do have in your life. They may not be everything that you want or need, but you do have them. I believe a lot of things in this life are like the inhabitants of the Island of Misfit Toys from Rudolph. Most things, people included, just what to feel needed, wanted & included.
What are you grateful for? What have you taken for granted? Take a moment & take stock of your life & you may be pleasantly surprised of what is there. If not, it may be time to consider making alterations in your situation. Have a great day.
