I am working on myself. It's a process. I've committed to myself to be there for myself, love myself, and create a beautiful world for myself. It can be discouraging.....but I am committed...to me....to be ever changing, always growing, forever loving, and always thankful. It's hard....but anything worth doing is hard. Makes us appreciate the give and take of things....rain for the sunshine....darkness for the light....tears for the miles of laughter...the bad for the good.....pain for more love.
Sometimes we make things worse than they really are. We are people who rationalize to make the bad things better and the good things less than they are. I've been working on taking things and people for face value....it's a realistic approach, much different than the dreamer approach that I've done for so long. Everything has it's time and place but maybe it would be easier if we just accepted and love each other for who we are. Maybe we wouldn't be so hard on ourselves when something doesn't go right and maybe we'd be more appreciative when things fall into place in just the right way. I wonder what life would be like if we could do this, even for a day or an hour. Would our stresses be less....would we have more respect and love for ourselves...would life be easier because we are more accepting or because sometimes it really isn't all that bad.
Maybe sometimes we just need to "reset." To see life like we did when we were younger and things weren't so complicated. I wonder, often, how we get so jaded....at what point does the shift occur....and when do we lose sight of the present moments. I'm trying to be better at appreciating more and not taking things and people for granted. I think sometimes, that's a good first step. Being more thankful instead of looking at all of our shortcomings....ahh, if only we could master that all of the time instead of just when things seem to be going our way.

I'm not so sure what the answers are....all I can tell you is that I keep searching and keep trying and I learn from everyone else too. Life is a whole lot of trial and error....and even more love and patience. Nothing is perfect, no one is perfect, and sometimes all we can do is keep the hope alive....because there certainly are a whole lot of bad things in the world but there are also a whole lot of good.
