Reality of Life

Life isn't just full of happiness, we have our own ups and downs, everything around us, it's sunsets, it's love, it's tears.  It's the thoughts of yesterdays memories, that can wash away all our fears.  It's that very painful experience, that each one of us has had.  It's the laughter that fills the air, it's the tears when you are sad.  It's loving that someone special,
that at one time made you smile.  It's the pain of losing that person, but the memories that make it worthwhile.  In time when we'll all be old, it's the good times we'll never forget, it's the memories we'll always hold.  It's the hug that we all need, when we'd rather drown in our sorrow.  It's the hope in every one of us, that makes us hold on for tomorrow.  But there are lots of things that we have to be thankful for like the accomplishments, the many blessings and to mention also the hardships because they have served to make us stronger.  I will marvel God's simple gifts, my family, my children, my friends and all others.  Today, I will share my excitement for life with other people.  I will make someone SMILE and I will go out of my way to perform an  unexpected act of kindness for someone I don't even know.  I will give a sincere compliment to someone who seems down and I will tell that person how special she/he is.  Because all of these are simply the reality of LIFE and I want to live life to the fullest.
