So we look for the positive

In a job which is so often so bleak, we struggle as workers to stay upbeat and positive. In a place where happiness falls like crumbs to the ground. I find myself looking for meaning. Meaning which I see. In children's eyes. But here's the thing. If you can be kind. Kind. to other people. listen. to other people. then you have something. if you can help someone. great. if you can't. explain why. If you aren't the door opening for someone else, take a moment to show them another doorway. We live our lives having doors closed in our faces. It gets old. We get tired. I see these people daily. Tired people with sore toes, from having too many doors closed.

Validate. not parking. truth. validate what is going on. if its bad acknowledge its bad. bad doesn't mean unfixable. Bad just means bad. If your life sucks. So be it. at least you have a starting place. Sucks ain't great, but at-least its directional. Love more. Forgive even more. What is that saying,...... but to forgive is divine. I think it is divine within more than outwardly. Forgiveness is self-healing. Forgiveness leads to acceptance. or verse-vice. If we can truly forgive then we grow. as people. as spirits.

I'm not saying this to be cheesy. I'm not saying, don't laugh at the guy with the mullet, and the lawyers briefcase; but maybe don't point and giggle. Because somewhere he has a mom. with a mullet, and a members only jacket. and she loves her son as best she can.

God has given us a world that is a fun house mirror. So we can shrink away from it. or giggle. What's it gonna be? I hope I can laugh. Crying once in a while might be cool too.

Shout out to my sister. I love ya babe. Your awesome. Spread your wings and fly. Dare to be the great person you truly are inside. Your courage inspires me.
