On Life

It's funny how things work out. Sometimes it seems as if things are always going good, or always going bad. We don't offten stop to think just how often things hit upon the middle ground. So many days pass on into obscurity since there was nothing memorable about them to remember. Even the really good days can disappear after awhile until all we are left with is the bad days to focus on and this it all we see.

It seems like one thing after another is just falling to pieces around us and we feel helpless to stop it, never knowing that we are perpetuating our own demise. We only see the bad and forget about the good. We see the car breaking down, not the 90% grade our child brought home. We see the drier going out and not the garden in bloom.

Despite all the things that go wrong, there are many things that go right and we will see them if we just take the time to step back with our cup of coffee and take a deep breath and inhale. After all, despite it all, we're still alive.
