Everything

Thu, 10/23/2014 - 02:25 -- graskin

Finding the good in everything,

has always been my talent. 

I can't juggle, I can't sing,

but I find the good in everything.

 

Starting at a new school isn't always easy.

On the upside, I'll make new friends, with just about anyone.

Some teachers will be bad but, 

others will be good 

and that is what's important.

 

Oh no! I lost my house key.

Locking me out...until the folks come home from work. 

Although, it’s such a beautiful day.

The cardinal is chirping and tending to its nest,

While our garden is blossoming with an assortment of different colors.

I'm surrounded by nature and all the life it has to bring me.

 

I often take care of my pets.

Walking them, feeding them, and disposing of their business.

I don't look at it as a hassle, instead...

Payment! For their love and kindness they give to me.

Their purrs of gratitude and barks of affection.

I wouldn't trade them for the world.

 

And even on the saddest of days.

When death takes a companion or loved one.

I remember the good times and smile through my tears.

They are in a better place and

I will hold onto the memories that we once shared.

 

So what makes me smile?

Everything. 

I enjoy life for what it has to offer because it is so precious.

The finite amount of time we have on this earth, why be unhappy?

Smile.

Everything has a light that shines through the darkness.

Friendship, Nature, Animals, Memories,

Think about it.

The world will always be spinning and there will always be a purpose for you

If you enjoy it.
