Today I was told that I was an inspiration. Wow, I thought I was barely functioning most of the time. I feel like I'm on auto pilot. One foot, then the next. This man lost his wife a couple of months ago. He is probably 20 or so years older than I am, but he says I always can make him feel better. I did something for someone else to feel better today. I am so thrilled to have brought even just a moment of happiness to someone who is in pain and can't stop the hurt. I hurt everyday for what I lost, but everyday I look for a ray of sunshine too. I look for that person who can make me smile or laugh, I take each hug from someone special as the best hug I have had, I listen to a good song and appreciate the ability to hear it, I shovel the snowy walk way because I have arms and strength in them. I appreciate a friend stopping by also as one of my gifts/happiness for today.
I saw a women standing in the cold talking on her phone in front of a store last night. She looked so sad, she was talking and crying at the same time, and it was so cold. Then right on the walkway two people were yelling at each other while they each were each holding onto a stroller with a small child in it. Yelling in front of the kids was not what I saw, I saw two little children being stuck out in the cold with the adults not being aware that they were probably freezing just sitting there.
Take a look around you, others hurt, cry, suffer. Is your day really that bad?
