Instead of focusing on the negative aspects of my existence,
Why not highlight the positive?
I have a good paying career that I continue to strive in.
I have a warm safe place to rest my head.
I share a home with a young woman very dear to my heart.
I am well taken care of by her.
I have food I have a car I have clothes and fair health.
What more do I acquire? It seems sufficient enough.
I am not mean spirited I am not cruel to others.
I treat others with respect.
I am caring and compassionate.
I have friends that love me family that loves me.
I have a dog who adores and loves me unconditionally.
There is large amounts of goodness I overlook because
I am too focused on the bad.
It is easy to lose yourself in the darkness but
There is always a flickering light to show us the way back.
This is my goal for the new year. I want to fill blank pages with words of encouragement and praise. If i can create my own dark clouds, i can just as easily create sunshine.
