Being happy isn't so bad is it!

We all have our bumps in the road. Those bumps that we think will just ruin us forever. The point of no return. You're doomed. Just give up now. But really, is it really THAT bad? What if you're just happy with what you do have! A roof over your head, a child you can call your own, a significant other that you can cry to, parents that will always be there for you, siblings that you can call at all hours of the night, best friends, cousins, beer and tequila! If you even have one of those things then just make the best out of it. It's no secret that this year has probably been one of the craziest years of my life. From family deaths, illnesses, a falling out with a sibling, a temporary breakup, a loss of 2 jobs and now fighting to get my unemployment. It's been a crazy, crazy year. I felt so lost and alone. I lost a bunch of weight and I lost who I was. I didn't like who I was. All because I was focusing on everything negative that was happening in my life. And still is! But now I am trying to see a different side of things. I needed to be happy that I did have those friends and family in the time of my darkest days. And I did have that support at all hours of the night. I needed to appreciate that I have a healthy, naughty little boy that I can call my own cause I know way too many women that do not have this privilege. I needed to be grateful for the man that I call my boyfriend even though we were at each others throats. He's the man that can make me laugh when no on else can. He's the one that can help me get through my struggles and when I need a time out from being a mom. No matter what we have been through, he has stepped up like I've never seen him step up before. I needed to be grateful that yes I lost my job but I am also being a full time mom. Not a working mom that only saw my son 3-4 hours a day. I needed to be grateful especially for my VOR, Night Hawk, Giggles and Amazing! They did a good job! ;-) I went around my home today with Sage. Now, this is a sensitive subject for many since my beliefs have changed, but anyway, I went around saging my home and asking the universe for positive energy. I didn't "pray to god". I asked for strength within ME. NO ONE can change me but ME. I asked for the universe to just let me be happy and to show me that not everything is bad! I can do this and I will continue to do this. I'm a good person and I deserve good things and I WILL get those things. I will be OK and I will have a job soon. I am grateful for everyone who I have met in my life and made an impact on who I am today! No matter what struggles you are currently facing, just remember to be happy with what you have NOW! In front of you, at your reach! Enjoy it! We are not guaranteed tomorrow!
