Flickering

These days, it's so easy to want to complain. I however, have had enough. I can not take one more second of my own continual whiny or apathetic tone.

The World is alive and thriving around me.
The sky is filled with shining stars and a pleasant moon.

The sun gives me a wondrous painting with every sunset.
The land is soft to my feet, so that I may walk far.

I am happy to know that I may rest at night without fear.
I am greatly pleased that I can live in a place where my opinions will not risk my life.

My home is warm and my water is clean.

The varietious luxuries, I have so many, to each I am so very grateful.

I must keep it in my mind how great  a gift it is to be free, to be healthy, to even be happy.

I want to stay humble and I continue to try.

The doubts and problems that sneak into my thoughts, shall have no stay in my mind.

Tonight I shall have peace and joy.

Granted that the night is late and the morning near. It doesn't worry me and it won't be allowed to.

If only I could share with others some joy that I have been given.

From time to time, joy seems to be inconstant and lacking.
At times we should strive to mimic the excitement of children.

Remembering laughter and Embracing delight.
The stresses of life can afford to be cast aside from time to time.

So for those that have not experienced a pleasant moment in some time,
please search and seek it out and don't ever let go.
