There’s so much that can put my life into perspective when I’m feeling down about things.
Can I be any more vague?
Let me try again. It’s like this: sometimes I get unhappy about my life…that it’s not like this, or doesn’t look like that person’s life. And I start getting all woeful that it’s not all sunshine and roses, it’s not how I want things to be.
Then a friend loses their parent. Or I read a blog about a sick child. Or a couple we know splits up.
It sure snaps my world back into place. I take a look at what I do have and I realize I have an excellent husband. We have three gorgeous healthy kids. Our material needs are met. We have faith in a good God who loves us.
My life is far from perfect, but I find I am happiest when I choose to focus on the positive instead of the negative. I am able to re-center on the things that are important and matter most.
