Life itself, is the only wonder in my world.

It's quite amazing...life, ridiculous conversations...hypocritical people. Life itself, is the only wonder in my world.

A few years ago, I started out in my world, with all my efforts, all my energy facing towards making the world in which I live in, a better place from day to day. All of my effort into making my existence matter. Giving all I can to make whatever difference I can.

I stand here today, and reflect back over those years, and I realize...It is so easy to see all the negative things that life has offered. It is so easy to see all the pain that invaded me. It is so easy to feel weighed down, and ultimately..it is easy to feel, see, smell and taste all the bad things that face me each and every day.

It is hard to find those things that make life...have light.

You watch TV, read newspapers, magazines, and billboards even. Every which way you turn, this world reminds you, you are ok, but you can be better. All the wonderful things that life gives you, all the presents filled with smiles, and baskets full of shoulders to lean on. All of the breath taking sunsets, and satisfying home cooked meals. Everything easily overlooked.... Everything, equally important.

Classrooms, to office meeting rooms, we are taught to focus on the negative. Give your attention to what is bad...and all the good is simply..a given.

In my world, I want to focus on the good, realize the bad...and be thankful for the life, time, and love I have been given.
