Its quiet in the house tonight, all are asleep but me.....peaceful. i can sometimes think better at times like this, but those aren't always the best ones. Trying to think positive all the time can drain ones energy. The secret to me is learning to not really try but release yourself into knowing that you have done all you could have done with the moments given to you and to focus on the fact that each day you are alive is a blessing and not a chore. Pains come and go, happy times come and go......but focusing your energy on blessing those around you helps you stay on an even keel. So yes living for yourself is good, but living for those around you is better than good......for you as well as them.....its therapeutic and has a bit of a calming effect.......Cheers!
