Poopy Diapers, Stinking Attitudes, & a 4:30am Wake Up Call
I have only 26 days left in this current training cycle, I woke up this morning with every muscle in my body yelling “what are you doing to me!” I quickly shared my angst with my wild thang ( that beautiful hunk of humanity, that I am married too.)
He just looked at me with a thoughtful gaze and said well, at least you can feel (that type) pain some people don’t…the gist of the conversation was some people have real problems that will keep them from ever experiencing the privilege that has been afforded me. My mind quickly got back in the game as I dedicate this week’s training to all the kids who are struggling with cancer, they don’t get a break from the pain.
I am sending mega kudos to the people at Candlelighters for doing that beautiful thing that they do and Cancerkids.org for allowing the kids to tell their own story.
Which leads me to my final thoughts
This stuff called life happens, the good is often intertwined with the bad and if you are not careful the pain can overshadow the joy. The way I see it you can spend your brief moments on this planet clinging on to all of the painful experiences that have occurred in your life, or you can focus on all the good things that have happened.
Notice focusing on the bad, will not make the situation better but birthing an attitude of thankfulness soothes the soul. Harboring bitterness and resentment is like dragging around dirty, poopy diapers. I say toss the mess and move forward. Poop happens to everyone but we don’t have to carry it around. Toss the mess and be blessed.
I am indeed one blessed woman……..focus on the blessing.
