This past Saturday I had the pleasure of accompanying my sister to her first baby shower, an event that was positively perfect. One thing I realized during the baby shower is that even though somethings in life are not always planned they can always bring people together to celebrate and enjoy even the most surprising of events. Life is full of hiccups and mishaps but just because one door closes doesn't mean another wont open. If we stopped looking at the closed door and looked around you will be surprised to look around and find another standing open waiting to embrace you for your next journey. In a little less the 6 weeks from now, I will be pleased to embrace the birth of my sure to be beautiful niece Sophia and all though this may have been a small surprise it sure is a joy to know she will be joining us soon. So to those of you who believe that life has been tough or things haven't ever been what they should be, take a moment to think, is there someone worse off then you, is there a way you could make your life better by stopping and taking a look around for that open door, because sometimes as long as we look at the glass half empty we will always see the negative in life.
Food For thought:
“When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”
