It's a cup-half-full sort of day

Today, I'm choosing to look at the bright side of life.

It's all about perception, really. Everything has at least two sides, and I can pick which side to stare at.

 I blame a lot of unhappiness on circumstances ("I'm tired" "People were rude to me at work"). But I don't have to let those circumstances ruin the rest of my day. Just gotta clean the glasses and see things a little differently.

 This is extremely applicable to me, since I deal with so much death, so closely, so often. Especially when I do obits for kids my age, or toddlers, or babies, or parents with young children (which I have done far too many of lately) I am reminded that life is precious and I am blessed.





"...Serenity to accept the things I cannot change."

Tears are healing. I take comfort in that. At least I still feel.
