Life Is Hard Life Is Great
Life is hard, got to get up in the morning, go to work, the car does not run, got to go to walk to work, it’s raining; what a pain!
Life is hard, have to say hello to co-workers, even the one who stabbed me in the back last week, got to work, at least until break at 10:30; got to bear the boss even if he is as pleasant as a jail gate. Got to wait for lunch break. What a pain!
Life is hard, got to return to work, in the afternoon, the boss is having digestion problems, he is even more unpleasant in the afternoon. Clients are cranky, got to bear it. Two more hours before going home. It’s long!
Life is hard, got to walk back home under the rain, got to supervise kids’ homework, husband has a headache and is drinking to forget. Got to pay the bills, put the kids to bed, they don’t want to go. What a pain!
What if I could see life differently? What if I could find something good in it?
I am lucky to be able get up this morning, I am alive, I am safe, I am lucky to have a job when so many are being laid off, the car does not run, too bad, the walk will do me some good, it’s raining, good the garden will bloom. Life is good!
I can say hello to the colleagues with a smile, oh that one! I can forget the little slap in the back last week, I can still work in spite of my opinions that are so far from the boss’s views. Already break time, cool. I can continue my chat with a coworker, the boss said hello today, almost time to go back to work. Life is good!
Working in the afternoon, there a fun project starting, the boss has digestion problems poor soul, he suffers. Client had a bad day, the economy is bad, perhaps he was worried about his job, I can forgive him. Afternoon flies by just a few more minutes and I will be going home. No time to be bored. It’s fantastic, life is good!
Cool it’s still raining, I really don’t have to water the yard tonight, I can help the kids with their homework, I care about their education, too bad my husband still has a headache, I will take care of him and make sure the kids don’t make too much noise, I’ll make a cup of tea that will help. I am lucky to have him in my life, I can take care of him. I have to pay the bills, too many, we can manage we have a job. Kids don’t want to go to bed, I’ll play a game with them, another 20 minutes does not make a big difference. Life is good!
Life is good, it is not as hard as it seems, to see happiness wherever you are, accept things for what they are and take advantage of every moment to celebrate the beauty of life. Thank God for happiness, life and kids and work. Thank God for a little rain on our lives, and all the little things that make a complete day.
