So it has been a while since I have graced the three readers of my blog with my presence! Sorry folks. I have been quite the busy bee. Just to catch everyone up: I moved out of Dallas and into Nate and Lauren's house back in good old Rowlett. Work has been crazy. Life has been somewhat peaceful. I went to visit some of my good friends in Nashville, and I have also spent a lot of much needed time with the family.
I feel pretty good. I mean of course I can always complain about the usual pants getting tighter and how I hate driving to McKinney. But, all in all, life is pretty good. I wish I could spread this contentment with other people though. Maybe they are trying to make conversation by complaining about everything wrong in their lives, but to me, that is not conversation. I know we all need to vent but I feel like people can be so selfish and it is all about them being happy. They think that their unhappiness can be fixed by some person just doing the right thing. (I guess I should listen to my own words because I would't be calling folks out if they had just not been so negative!) I just wish I could somehow get these people to see how insignificant some of the stuff they complain about is. I know this sounds so cliche, but seriously, there are families without homes, food, and clothing, or countries that have whole populations being contaminated by their water supply. Just stop for one moment and realize that you are nothing but a tiny speck in a huge world. The world revolves around the greatest love of all and we should be helping other people in need and not automatically jumping to anger when something does not go our way. Instead, take some time to think about why you are angry. Why did something upset you? If the answer is, because I am selfish and I wanted what I wanted when I wanted it. Think of the people who lost their jobs and homes because of this economy. Do you think they wanted that? We are all still living on this planet for a reason. Do you want to live your live being mad all the time that you did not get what you wanted? Life would be much better if you acknowledge what you do have and be grateful you were given another day of life. Another day of life to reevaluate your purpose and maybe help someone else out instead of always focusing on me, me, me.
You have the choice each day to either be a crab or a happy dolphin jumping around singing all day!
Your choice. I choose to hang out with dolphins :)
