@ECBG -

That is a wonderful way to look at things isn't it?

@ECBGThank you for that message.

 

I know people who have paid good money to have a therapist tell them the wisdom that man seemed to get intuitively..   Sometimes life is really changed by how we frame our experiences.

@on the bay Thank you my Dear.  I thought so.  We need to keep all things in perspective.

We are from the stock that fought many diseases and many wars.  We planted Victory Gardens! They didn't give up or have the internet to play on!!!

Your words make me want to be braver and more grateful. Thank you for posting. I think about my parents' world and my life has been a walk in the park compared to their's.

When we are involved in such trying times, times which cause our emotions to erupt and we feel there isn't much hope, we do have to find a positive outlet.  I have always found that in my family and friends and in wonderful memories which make me smile and be grateful.  

 

It isn't easy but as they say I  have to be thankful for my  blessings and know that so many are going through worse and yet find a way to move forward.  The article is a meaningful one and words to live by.
