Have you ever worn a 'Life is Good' T-shirt? I love em. I love how they feel and I love the reminder that life truly is good.
Even when you go to the doctors and he reams you up one side and the other and tells you that you are no longer able to drive because you still have those pesky seizures that show up at random times and it seems impossible because you have a gazillion kids to drive from here to kingdom come and having yet one more thing taken away from you; your independence. Life is good. I have two legs that work great and a really cool bike! It could always be worse. Life is good.
Even when you have to go to the doctors office once a week for the next two months to get two shots in your behind because the needles are too big to go in your arm or leg. Life is good. I can feel the poke of the needle. It means I'm alive and my butt hasn't gotten numb after all of these years of sitting on it! It could always be worse. Life is good.
Even when your house and yard is such a mess and you are too prideful and embarrassed to let anyone in the front door. Life is good. At least I have a house, a roof over our heads, and having tons of 'stuff' and toys laying all over means we have 'stuff'. It could always be worse. Life is good.
Were it offered to my choice, I should have no objection to a repetition of the same life from its beginning, only asking the advantages authors have in a second edition to correct some faults in the first. ~Benjamin Franklin~
Your life is, indeed, good.
ReplyDeleteyou are good.
ReplyDeleteKeep that chin up, girl! Life IS good. Just keep repeating that.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. There is always a bright side to things if we're willing to find it. Life is AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of Dory from "Finding Nemo": "Just keep swimming." What a great attitude!
ReplyDeleteKristen, I'm gonna keep telling myself that! Other wise, it is the temper tantrum you heard yesterday.
ReplyDeleteMisty, Resigned more like. Ask Kristen about my temper tantrum yesterday.
Natalie, Life is good, life is good, life is good, life is good, got it! :)
Gerb, Sometimes it takes some really deep digging but it is always there.
Chastina, I love Dory!
Hah, what an excellent quote there at the end! I'm with you on that.
ReplyDeleteThose shirts are soft and nice, aren't they?
I would throw a tantrum if I were you too--but you have such a good attitude. You're going to make it through, my friend. :)
Ginna, Their shirts are the best. I'm thinking thier jammies are probably sinful too and if I bought some I'd never change out of them. Probably a good idea that I don't own any.
ReplyDeleteMen/Women are that they might have joy right? Working on that one.
I LOVELOVELOVE this post! Thanks for your optimistic outlook on life--I think it's something we could all use a good dose of...in the behind!
ReplyDeleteYour a good woman, friend, neighbor, blogger, mother and wife!! Yes, life is good- but sometimes it can really stink too! If you ever need a ride or someone to pick up kids I am just around the corner!
ReplyDeleteLyndee, I agree with you except....can't I just drink it? I hate the whole needles in the behind thing. :)
ReplyDeleteCarrilyne, Thank you!!! I appreciate your offering to help. Means a lot!
at least your oldest can drive no, right ;)
ReplyDeleteMarseille, Almost. He's learning. Just got his learners permit so several month still to go before he takes full control (HA) of the reigns. :)
ReplyDeleteSigh. I meant reins......
ReplyDeleteJody, Mental aerobics. Up and down and all over the place. If we keep working at it we'll get tougher right? That first t-shirt is a men's. Wish they had it in women's. I really like what it says.
