Life...

"Life is what you make of it, so make it worth your while, to greet each day with love and hope, and give your dreams a smile". Simple statement. Profound message. I am amazed by what can develop out of a morning that starts with "It's gonna be a good day". Life isn't always easy and can't always be tied with neat little bows, but the reality is that if you wake up thinking it's going to be a bad day, chances are it will. I refuse to believe that what happens in life is beyond our control.  Somethings, sure, but the ordinary day to day stuff, not so much.

It's often hard to remember this attitude when you wake up in pain, tired, nervous, stressed, and worried about the million and one details that are your existence, but you must. I must.
