My Life. Today. My job. This year.
Sucks!
Sucks!
I've been known to say those things on more than one occasion
I have the luxury of one of those jobs where I'm not tied to a desk, not stuck in a building all day long, it can be a curse and a blessing at the same time. I'm out meeting people all day long, I spend a lot of time in my mobile office which gives me time to think, be alone, be rejected, be successful, get depressed and become excited all in the same day.
It also gives me the opportunity to see people that are "less fortunate" that I am, ones that have been dealt a bad hand, have made poor choices, were never given the opportunity, or never acted on a opportunity that was presented to them.
Yesterday was one of those days. I was sitting in the car when a guy walking down the sidewalk waved a couple of times, walked past and then came back and asked if I could spare some change. It wasn't much, maybe a buck-fiddy that I pulled from the center concul but to him it appeared to be a cup of coffee, a hamburger, the start of a bottle or a beer, who knows and honestly I didn't care.

I felt good about it, I helped someone and he and I were both happy.
Really, that's all that mattered at that moment.

I'm blessed really,
life doesn't suck, the year didn't suck,
yesterday didn't suck, my job doesn't suck
life doesn't suck, the year didn't suck,
yesterday didn't suck, my job doesn't suck
I've never not had a roof over my head
I've never not had the resources to make a living
I've never not been surrounded by family on the holidays
I've never not had some amazing friends
I've never not gone without food

All of a sudden the sucking sound has stopped.
How was your day?

This is a Good one, my friend! You hit it on the head...when we start counting our Blessings we have so much, when some have nothing...I think we all need to get out and help those less fortunate, volunteer, do something...Anything!! It's funny how when we take ourselves out of it, the picture for awhile, we see how lucky and blessed we really are! Thank you for this gentle reminder....needed to hear this one!
