Negativity

I was reading this article today about Negative Habits That Stop People from Being Happy, and it definitely hit a note or two for people in my life.  Quite a few, actually.

I just think the kind of life we in Canada get to experience is so rare, so unexpectedly special, it often causes me to stop, to watch the sun set, to really look at the people passinng me on the street.   From the shape of a leaf on a tree, to shared laughter between friends, to reaching an important goal...I just think it's so easy to love life and love it well.

I hope for people who are struggling...that they might find their way.  For those that are afraid, they find courage.  For those in despair, may they find a way to start again, to renew themselves.

For me, I wish for only the wisdom to be  able to say the truth without harming, to create change without destroying,  to make connections where there were none; to create something out of nothing, every day, with creativity, good intention and faith.  (And maybe a dose of laughter, as well.)

Life is not long.  This seems to me unfair.  I wish I could experience more, see more, and feel more of everything there is in human life.  There's so much good in the world.  I truly believe that, even if the worst were to come, there's still so much good in life to experience.
