What I Owe Life

I was making my morning cyber-rounds on various social networking sites and came across this quote:
Today, try to find Happiness
by being willing to ignore what
life owes you & thinking about
what you owe life

Normally, when I have a few days off, I sit alone and listen to the endless, and sometimes relentless, caucus going on between my ears. And I always end the day in a terrible...funk. I think about all the shoulda, coulda, wouldas (referencing my favorite Shel Silverstein verse); all the insanely stoopid things I've done; ways I could better myself "if only". This morning's gifted quote changed my entire outlook, at least for today.

I am so thankful and appreciative to have my minuscule life, and am loving every second of it lately. Sure, my Pops is bravely battling cancer, my 1/2 brother is in jail for murdering his uncle, my arm is broken and throbbing terribly, but strangely I feel content with the world and in a very secure place with my God. I owe life the very best Cyndy, no matter what.

I accept that some days will be graced with a productively positive Cyndy, while other days are cursed with a horrid monstrous Cyndy; but either way, I will try to think of what I owe life...for my husband, my children, my friends & family, and most importantly, for me.
