Don't Worry, Be Happy!

Well, today is a great day! My new friend Crystal, made it thorough a pretty tough surgery. She will be in the hospital for a few days, but she made it! Thank you God. I hope I get to visit her and bring her flowers.

You know, you never really know how long you have on this earth, and you should always plan to spend each day wisely. Whenever I am having a rough day, and feeling down, I try remind myself how blessed I am, and I try get myself out of the bad mood by smiling and being nice to those around me.

I am truelly blessed. I have three healthy daughters, a secure job, a decent car, and I have some good friends. I have a healthy family, my sisters are doing alright, my mom is still healthy and still young at heart. My dad, even with his bad times with his health, is still alive and kicking. I love my house, I love my dogs, I pretty much love my life. Even though, financially, things are very difficult right now... I really do have it pretty good. There are so many single moms out there, that struggle from day to day, and never do get to realize some of their dreams. My dream was to buy a house. And two years ago... I did! and though I am fighting to keep afloat in the bills piling up, I am proud that I was able to realize the dream of home ownership.

so, to all those out there that are struggling to make ends meet, complaing about all the bad things in your life.... wake up!! You are ALIVE!! You are HEALTHY !!

And just like that great song.... "Don't Worry...Be Happy!"
