Will I make it?

There is so much in this world to be ungrateful for. To be tired of. To be rid of. We have a president that can talk his way around and out of anything. We have schools closing because the economy is so crappy. We have Veterans that can't afford college because things are so tight right now.

But there are things to be extremely grateful for around us. We just need to open our eyes and see them. The children playing in thier yards in the sunshine. The sounds of their laughter ringing through the air. A woodpecker in the distance attacking a light pole. Heat in our home, and the ability to have a safe room installed.

Friends who will stand by your side through thick and thin. People who will love you despite all your issues. Your children who see a beacon of love exuding from you. The warmth of thier arms wrapped around your stomach. Their breath on your cheek as they whisper I love you into your ear.

So take the time, notice the important things. And love all that is around you.
