These days I am learning to accept death again. This reality of life hit hard this year.

But I'm trying to stay positive. To use it as a catalyst to appreciate people I meet, show more love to those I care for, and be kind to them as long as they're around. Cause I find that's one thing that brings comfort. Knowing you've treated someone right, as good as you could.


The Awakening

(excerpts)

The only thing you can really count on is the unexpected. 

Life isn’t always fair, you don’t always get what you think you deserve and sometimes bad things happen to unsuspecting, good people

You learn that nobody’s punishing you and everything isn’t always somebody’s fault. It’s just life happening.

You learn that principles such as honesty and integrity are not the outdated ideals of a bygone era, but the mortar that holds together the foundation upon which you must build a life.

You learn that, for the most part, you get in life what you believe you deserve, and that much of life truly is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

You learn that you don’t know everything, and it’s not your job to save the world.

You learn to fight for your life and not to squander it living under a cloud of impending doom.

You learn to never betray yourself and never settle for less than your heart’s desire.

Keep smiling, keep trusting, stay open to every wonderful possibility. 

Design the life you want to live as best you can.

 

And, just as food fuels the body, laughter fuels our soul.

So go ahead and have a laugh even about the most serious things.
