Sometimes.............the coffee

Sometimes the coffee's too hot and the ice cream is melted. Sometimes the gas tank is empty and the laundry piled high. Some days the sun is too hot or the wind is too cold. Your waistband and shoes are too tight..... sometimes the day is just one train wreck. But then tomorrow, the sunrise is beautiful and birds are singing. People are smiling and traffic is light. In all instances there will be a tomorrow. And the hours and days and months you might have spent being stressed, worried and sleepless simply have been a waste of time. Through those times you may have just missed that singing bird because all you could hear were your own troubled thoughts. Or you may have missed that sunrise because your eyes were on your checkbook or your computer or downcast instead of uplifted. We all have circumstances of life that just don't meet our expectations. We all have moments, hours and days of the 'when will it ever end' syndrome. But the key, the password, the magic wand is to live the very best you can. Do what is doable, fix what is fixable, and in all the turmoil expect that miracle. Remember that the Magic Marker of Life isn't permanent. Erasers appear in the most unexpected ways. Today is your day, as is everyday. No one is promised tomorrow or even a next breath. So, breath deeply, look closely, hear thoroughly every second of your precious life. You were given a life to live,not to waste.
