Happiness?
It has not been the best of years.... and it is NOT my way to gripe or complain. But I felt I should write something...
I have always felt if you had the energy to complain, you have the energy to make it better. In truth, it's been financially a bit hard. Bills, insurance, dentist, hospital bills... one think after another. In order to save money, I even gone vegetarian. It's made it really hard to plan to go home during Christmas, much less buy gifts. I feel poor.
BUT being poor has made me even more thankful for what I do have. At least this year, I still have a home that I can say I come home too. There are a lot of other things that I realize I could been worst off, being happy and thankful isn't about how much you have, it's about realizing how much you already got.
I pray and hope, that regardless of how tough, troubled, hungry, alone or sad I am able to remain kind. To help others who have less than me. To be able to smile and hope.
