Bad Things, Good Things

A day of bad things happening, possibly fatal days even, who knows, but I’m trying to think more on happier things, and stay positive in my mind. I always prefer to focus on the good things in life, it helps me to stay in a good ‘place’ in my head …

So today, I wrote this article and I hope it might brong some positive thoughts to those who might read it … Commenting on the bad, but looking at happier things will help me, and may help other people too, and if I can do that, it will bmake me happier!

At the moment, Graham is in the kitchen, working on our tea, and Missy our dog is in there too, ‘helping him’! Missy’s way of helping is dealing with any food that might accidently end up on the floor, she’ll gobble it up super quick!

It’s winter, it’s supposed to be cold in winter, in South Australia, and even though I wish it was a bit warmer, I am able to keep warm enough, and I know that means I am a lucky person. Thinking about those who don’t have a home they can keep warm enough, what a sad thing that would be.

If there are ways I can help such people, I will do it, if I can, financially. Life is not a game, it is an ongoing challenge to meet our own needs and those of others, as best we can … And that is the Stoic way of life I have been working towards these past few years.

I’m not there yet, but I am improving all of the time, and I say that thankfully, not boastfully. I am far from perfect, but when I can make anything better, I will try to do that. That is my goal in most things … Perfect people don’t exist, but good people do, and I try to always be one of the good people.
