We all have good days and bad days. Life isnt always rosebuds and rainbows. I am a single mom, three kids, I dont live extravagantly and I work hard to pay my bills. Kids fight, there is always laundry to do and dishes to be washed. I try my best to keep a good attitude but honestly its not always easy. There are times I want to crawl into bed and pull the shades down for a week. But then I think about what other people are going through. Today is 9-11. Thousands of people died unnecessarily today. Their families continue to be reminded by news coverage and video footage of what a horrific time that was. There are people who loose loved ones every day. I know how that feels. I lost two of the closest people in my life two years ago and not a day goes by that I dont miss them. There are people dealing with cancer or who are watching their children who have this horrible disease. Its the change of seasons...there are families who have no where to live who will get the clothes we are putting aside to donate. So, for all of that, I have to say to myself...be grateful. Youre blessed. Your kids are healthy and with you. You have a roof over your head. You have people in your life you love and who love you, and no matter how bad your day can seem, there are others struggling with things you probably couldnt comprehend. Most of all, be strong. Do what you can to encourage others and help ease the sadness of those around you. Be strong so you can project good and happy energy to those who need it most. Its the least any one of us can do...and always live gratefully for what you have at this very moment because it is the only one you can be sure you have.....
