#42 - Mar. 23, 2024

A coworker that just recently have a foot surgery told me… “ I was telling the other guys, I was feeling kinda sorry for myself this morning, then I had lunch with Dave, and I didn’t feel so bad.” lol.

I told him… “ I also have to remind myself that there are a lot of people that have it much worse than me”

I guess to me it’s all about perspective.

Yes, I could focus on the fact that many people never have to deal with serious health issues, complications, and all that it comes with. 

Or, I could do my best to try to focus on the fact that I’m lucky the cancer was found early. That even though I had a lot of complications, they are behind me. That my body hurts to get out of bed. But I am able to stand. The list could go on…

But why? Negative breed’s negative. I’m not perfect at it, I fail a lot of the time. I get down. But if I stay there, I will get comfortable there. I will continue to stay down, then I will try to suck you down with me.

Each day it is a decision. A decision to be reminded of blessings and that waking up is a gift. That I have the ability to be helpful. I am loved. I have peace. 

That today can be a good day, no matter what external things may happen. Happiness is sometimes a decision we have to make, so is misery. 

Choose wisely. 

Love ya, 

Dave.
