Yesterday, I woke up all grumpy and down on everything.
Today, I decided to flip and be grateful. I feel gratitude for a lot of things in life.
Solitude is a Gift. Not many people have it in this world, they are crowded.
Freedom is a Gift. Being able to do what I want on this Sunday. If I want to sleep - I can go back to bed! A lot of people in this world are not free, they are compelled to do things they don't want, by a spouse, a job or they are in prison.
Health is a Gift. To not feel Pain. A lot of people are in pain today, either mentally or physically.
Being above the ground is a Gift. So many people are Dead, including Mom & Dad. And here I am, still here. That's a Gift.
I cherish my Gifts.
Here's the list of things that don't matter:
1. Money
2. Tomorrow
3. Being like everybody else
4. Having a girlfriend / boyfriend
5. Having a list of accomplishments to compete with & "show" so-and-so, or so-and-so. Who care what they think?
The reality is most people that ever lived are Dead. We are the lucky ones walking above the ground, and not IN the ground.
