Unconditional Love

In my younger years I never could SEE THE GOOD in anything. I was negative, I was mad at the world, I didn’t like my life, I wished things were different and I didn’t know what had happened to the happy me. Well, I happened. It was me. It was my own destruction of my happiness. I was solely responsible for feeling like this and I was now at an age that it was time to make a change in my life.

Of course I had no idea what to do and how to make things better. I sought help from a professional and as much as I hated the thought of that, it helped me tremendously. This psychiatrist helped me find myself again. I was so lost, so confused and so mad at everything that happened in my life and didn’t even realize it. He dug deep into my soul, he found a way for me to come back and just be me without all the weight I was carrying around. I am truly grateful to that man for just listening and helping me. He taught me how to find my happiness and to find the good in all bad situations. Although I struggle sometimes still to this day, I do try my best.

To SEE THE GOOD you have to face the bad head on, it’s what he always told me. Sometimes bad things are thrown our way as a lesson in life. The lessons are a way to keep us focused, keep us on the right track, to make us better and stronger. The things in life that are so bad, really aren’t that bad if you look for the good. I’ve tried to look for the good in everything that most people would feel is so bad. I have had to deal with a husband knocked to his knees with cancer, but had he of not gotten cancer we would not be here together today. The illness brought us closer, it made us stronger, we have each other and that’s the good that came from the bad.

We had a bad situation with money, we were struggling and it wasn’t good or so we thought. The bad situation brought us to where we are today. We are in a home that is paid for, the bills are small, we don’t have a lot of room, but we love our house. If we would of been in the other house and Joe had become ill with this heart issue we would of lost everything. There is always good to be found in the bad, you just have to see it.

I’m trying now more than ever to SEE THE GOOD, because I have learned that life isn’t always a bed of roses and it can bring you down some dark roads that would send most people running the other way. But I welcome the dark roads because there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. There’s always something good that will come from the bad, no matter how big or small. Each little lesson that we are given will make us better people in the long run. SEE THE GOOD everyone, stay positive, be kind and just be happy. Your life is in your hands, make it a good life. There’s only one life to live.
