I’ve been dealing with cancer for a few years now. I love life. I love playing with my kids, I love doing yard work. I love sitting outside, listening to good music with an ice cold beer. Monday Night Football…love it! Basketball…LOVE IT! Love finding those perfect jeans….I love going out for Mom and Daughter days…with MY mother! I love a nice date with my husband. I do like working, I like helping my husband with his side business. Sure, cleaning the bathroom doesn’t top my list, but I’ll do it…because I love a clean bathroom!
Then I meet someone that yes, has challenges in life, we all do, but they can’t see life for the gift that it truly is. They bellyache about not having an attentive enough spouse, enough friends. They complain about not knowing whether or not they are doing great at work, not having enough or not appreciating what they do have. It’s always more, more, more…it’s never enough. They get too wrapped up in the material to understand that everything they need is there for them…just reach out and it is all right there! They can’t just be it’s always got to be better.
It’s life. It’s not easy, it’s not always fair and it’s bumpy. Enjoy it, though. Look at the lessons and learn from them. Don’t squander it!
