Through the Trials of Life

When I'm going through the trials of life, as many people call it, I tend to have my ups and downs, my good days and bad. As with everyone, sometimes I wonder where the bottom is and then I find it. Tearfully I work my way back up to the top. This has been a trying year for many people. You read about the earthquake in Italy and all those who have suffered and suddenly you think -- heck, my trials are not that awful at all! It's the saying about the man who felt sorry for himself because he had no shoes -- until he saw a man who had no feet. Wonderful saying and so very very true.

Pessimism is seeing the glass half empty, and of course the optimist sees it half full. I count my blessings, the warmth of my family, my pets, my house is still mine (thank God for that), the fact that I have a job in this tough time and that no matter what I'm going through, I feel like there's a God above watching over me. I've always felt that way and I've had my brushes with death a couple of times in my life. As the old saying goes, there are no atheists in foxholes, although I'm far from an atheist.

Keeping positive in tough times keeps me going and it keeps me young. No matter how hard things get, and trust me I've run the gambit of tough situations happening in my life, I stay positive of at least one thing...there's always a mountain that goes with my valley. And I do so love standing on the mountaintop.

Have a great and blessed day.
