even with all the crap i have been handed.. i try to keep it positive. yeah my neighbor was a butt for saying that my chicks need to stay in my yard or else he's calling the sherriff... but that got my coop done faster.. so won't have problems with the preditors.
yeah, my plumbing took a poop(no pun intended.. ok maybe a little) but now we have new pipes and no worries on plugging for long time
i also have a new toilet.
my dog couldn't walk.. but now he's better. walking and running and being naughty LOL
my mom's friend was totally rude to me at my mom's 50th b-day party but now my mom sees what a witch this woman truly is. and how self centered and selfish she is.. and how much of a bad parent.
i had my chickens killed off by the nieghbor dog.. but at least i didn't have to choose which rooster(three of which i loved) i had to cull.. now i am down to one.. and frankly. im glad that i have him. cuz he's gorgeous. plus it made moving them more easy LOL. fewer to cram into a cage to transport or even keep in that cage until coop was done.
but the biggest sad part in my life.. seems to be the happiest. if you can call it that. my dad having cancer... yeah it's totally a tear jerker and a depression maker, but all in all, it made us stronger as a family. i realize and everyone else does as well, that life is short. take what you can from it now.. you don't know who will be gone tomorrow. i mean yeah, my dad will be gone in a short time.. but anyone can. and yeah, i am sad and i do cry cuz i realize a lot of my life will be missing after he passes.. but i think of all the things he has given me.
it might have taken me longer to realize that even though i have had some crap in my life lately.. it could be worse and it will get better..even if it has to get worse than worse beforehand. i hope that it gets better soon.. though i know it won't. (with my dad that is.. esp with new chemo)
so, i think people need to look at it as though "everythign happens for a reason"
