Its up to us to make it sweeet

It's up to us to make it sweet
Life is short... It is up to us to make it sweet. Happiness, the sheer joy of being alive. Ok, so we all pursue happiness, right? And than you go in for a mammogram and get the results and its life changing and you think or at least I do, WHOA!!!! I was happy a few days ago and I didn't even realize it until...... I heard those horrible words "Yes it is Cancer, Yes its in your Lympth Nodes"! Wait a minute BACK UP THE BOAT can I go back to yesterday or last year or 5 years ago and start over? I promise I will realize I was happy :)
So, again I hop in the saddle and begin the cycle of pursing happiness. Only recently, (like in the last 3 days) I awakened to the fact that I have an awesome life. Yes, I have too many bills, not enough money, I pass on the cake and ice cream and try like hell to fit in my skinny jeans that haven't fit me for years, But, really when I think about it, I somehow managed to make it all work. On the 5th of every month I think, Oh Great how the hell are we going to pay our mortgage, eat and put gas in our cars to get to work. blah blah blah. If you do the numbers its near impossible to make it work but, some how , some way we do it. Don't ask me how. I can only say it is having faith that God will allow us to make it work. And it does!

So when things seem Grim and the numbers are so out of whack and things are near impossible....... Remember, some how and some way WE GET THRU IT!
Be open to the tiny miracles, the burst of unexpected happiness. The simple things that come out of the blue to delight us with its complete unanticipatedness.

We are always always always being given Joy- from our family, our friends, our co workers, life itself and we can easly be blind to the gift. As I go about my day today, I am going to pay attention and notice all the things I am being given today, and recieve it with joy.

"Whatever, I am offered in devotion with a pure heart-a leaf, a flower, fruit or water- I accept it with joy". --- Krishna

Never give up- fight like hell and WE WILL GET THRU THIS!!
