Boldly going nowhere

I like living, who doesn't? I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing! I know Love involves a peculiar unfathomable combination of understanding and misunderstanding. If there was no winter, Than the the spring would not be so pleasant: if we never had to stomach adversity, sorrow, failure, hardship! Good fortune would not be so welcome. Its time to start Accepting, and knowing that all of us can be hurt, that all of us can-and surely will have our moments of failure. Times when we are Open to moral attack, criticism, temptation!I also know Being embarrassed or risking love, can be terrifying too. I am no genius but try this simple rule: if we can take the worst, then it worth taking the risk. I know now life is not meant to be feared, only understood. Don't be scared to be unsure, It just means anything is still possible. I tell myself everyday never give up longing and wishing! If you do your just not alive. There are certain things I feel to be enthralling and agreeable, and I hunger after them! I know Mistakes are a fact of life. It's my response to those errors I am constantly working on!One thing that always lingers in my head is something my Grandpa once told me. There were two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit. He told me to be in the first group; there was much less competition!I have way more to say but another day :)After my Grams died my head just hasn't been where it should! No focus on anything, My heart really has hurt!However, Even though things have been hard I been in a really good state of mind :) I mean seriously I am surrounded with the people I love- friends and family, and do everything I can to enjoy the time that I have with them! I keep telling myself Don't pass up opportunities to have fun and learn more about yourself, don't allow other people to tell you how to live, and don't waste time being lazy, bored, or unhappy. Just to love whatever you're doing...if you're not happy, then you're not living your life to its fullest extent!Unconditional love to God and MY Family and being so focused on that love that, if only for a short time, you become enlightened! That it that's my meaning to life! Short simple and It keeps me smiling! ..
