Life...

Life.  We all have one.  Live one. Wish to have one. Everyday, whether morning or night we wake wanting a life.  A life which contains love, laughter, friendship, family, adventures and memories.

Often work brings us down.  Supervisor on our butts for not doing enough, being clueless, or just for having a bad day.  Family picks us apart because we are not married, our kids are bad or we do not call enough.  Friends are not around or when they are they disappoint.  And your significant other can either make you fall in love all over again or shake their neck.

Either way life can introduce exactly what you do not want when you wake up.  So how do you find the life that brings laughter and love?  How do you not allow the unwanted to trespass into you life?

Easy.

Not easy.

Each day you wake and say, "Today is a good day.  You will not still my joy of love and laughter that is my life.  I will find shine in every outing, encounter and every task.  My life will be filled with love and laughter."

The word "still" is not a misspell.  No one can take my joy.  All they can ever do is pause.  Hence the word still...not steal.  It will not be taken.

A struggle to keep this mantra is an understatement.  It is work everyday.  As you work to overcome your limits within your career.  Overcoming your cringe when your family embarrasses you or makes you feel less.  The friends you believed would be there for life are all falling by the wayside.  And that love of your life allows questions on why you said they are the love of your life.  All of it is a struggle.

That is life.  We struggle.  We have days when "Today is a good day" is enough.  And you are rewarded with a good day.  Others can be classified as day of memories.  How you interpret or maneuver these memories is a personal and day to day choice.

My advice...find good memories.
