Far too often people become focused
on the troubles,
on the hurt,
the unending parade of nonsense
in their daily lives.
It is human.
It is natural.
What is not natural is to remain in that funk.
Beyond the betrayal
there are blessings.
Aside from the struggles
there is spirit.
Traversing the troubles
you'll find triumph.
There are always
little gifts along the way.
A stranger's kind word.
Running into a dear friend.
One of those put-me-back-together hugs.
A favorite song.
A memory-invoking smell.
Focus not on your grievances,
but on your gifts.
