As corny as it sounds, life is good

I've been asked why I'm happy all the time. I've been asked why my life is so awesome.  Okay, no I haven't... but I sure am happy most of the time... and my life IS so awesome.  And I bet yours is too.  A lot of people complain all the time about how shitty their lives are and how nothing good ever happens to them... well... true life is full of its shitty moments.  But there are also super rad moments you may be missing out on.  Even the littlest moments in life are wonderful.  Being able to take a nap.  Laughing during your favorite television program.  Taking a bubble bath.  All of these things help make your life wonderful.  Don't sweat the small stuff... make the most out of life... and remember that not everything has to be so damn serious.  I may sound like a guidance counselor here, but honestly I was in a rut a few years back... and I'm telling you it's just not worth it.  It's not worth being stressed over things.  It's not worth making yourself sick over shit you can't control.  Life is life... you either live it or you don't.

I was going to make a big long list of why my life is so rad... but I didn't want to sound like I was bragging.  It's not bragging if you can find the good in things.  If you can look at your life and find more good than bad, then there is something awesome there that you should share.  Or even if you only have a few good things going for you --- embrace that shit!  I've gone through a lot of pain, hardships, and just pure shitty shitty circumstances in my life.  The only thing I feel guilty about is the fact that I can say my life is good and my mother is no longer alive.  If she was still here, my life would be the best it could possibly be.  But she was taken away way too soon.  I know she wouldn't want me sitting around feeling like shit for the rest of my life.  And she is probably happy I'm doing well for myself.  I still feel guilty feeling "good" you know, but I know she would want me to be happy.

Wow... I didn't think I had all that in me.  I guess you never really know until you sit down and write.
