It would be easy to be a glass half empty kind of person. Especially now. I could dwell on a lot of things that are going on right now.
Such as, our main AC unit is wheezing and coughing and looking at us with irritation because we are asking it to act like a 5 year old when it is 20. AS IF! It says to us. (need about $5.000)
We need a new roof on the house because it has leaked through to our bathroom ceiling, which David had to cut out because of the soggy sheet rock. I blame the Turkey Buzzards. (need about $10,000)
We need new siding on the outside of our house. It is supposed to be blue. I never knew blue could turn into 5 different shades of gray and some shades of green. Clearly, siding does fade even if they tell you it won’t. (need about $20,000)
My son has just been diagnosed with Dyslexia and, in fact, has failed first grade. Trying to help a child with learning differences is really a challenge. Never take it for granted if you have a child that doesn’t require special education.
My Father in Law has terminal cancer. He is not doing well.
No matter where you are in life, though, there are others having a harder time than you are – and others having an easier time than you are. It’s all relative.
It’s all just life.
Sometimes the best thing to do when life gets you down is to stop thinking of all the bad, and start focusing on the good.
Such as, the AC is not completely out yet and with fans, things are comfortable.
Thankfully, the bathroom ceiling is the only area that has been damaged. I still blame the Turkey Buzzards. Some habits die hard.
Faded ugly siding means we can get new shiny siding. We will figure out the money part somehow.
There are so many more things that would be harder to handle than my sons Dyslexia. For that I am thankful.
My father in law is still here with us – let us embrace the time we have.
No matter where you are in life, though, there are others having a harder time than you are – and others having an easier time than you are. It’s all relative.
