Recently I was unusually focused on the difficulties of my life. This is not something I usually do. I had to consciously turn that focus back to focusing on the positives in my life. Everyone has something to worry about or be overwhelmed about. But equally everyone has something good in their life, like a good friend, sunny day, the beach, gardening, reading a good book etc. I was in a worried state when I started to think of how beautiful the day was. The sun and the warm breeze. I than started things of things that make us happy. My grandsons, my son, my sister. friends, and my mind eased. Because in that moment it didn't matter if I owe money or my house is in foreclosure or little money. In the moment I was lucky to be alive and have the close family members and friends that I have. With that change of mind I may be starting a job next week which will help with my money woes. It is not always easy to focus on the good in our lives but I refuse to live in fear and gloom because there is so much more out there.
