Too much credit

We often give way too little, way too much credit.....People become easily upset by small little things that tomorrow or 5 years or 25 years later won't seem that important, however, if they do, then you'd be one that dwells too much and dont let enough go.
I was often that one that felt the need to fix things, to avoid things and to be angry because something happened. I was giving life to the very things that was making my life hard. Not that I don't ever NOT do it, I still do but most of the time I catch myself. I've learned the only things that are truly important are the things that motivate, push and encourage you. If you give time to something that only makes you angry, sad, hurt, etc....you, my dear, are truly wasting time. Time that is not promised, time that cant be gotten back. Time that belongs to you and your happy little life that you are supposed to be living and if you are spending it in anger then you just robbed yourself. If you are spending it in guilt then your last moment on earth may be in the guilt stage.
I've given way too much negative in my life....my life.
I believe that's why I can treasure that moment that we are sitting around the den, with smiles all around. Being silly, laughing, goofy....it's called loving life.
It why I can get on the floor with my grandbabies and be completely immature. I may not have tomorrow and they may not remember my many important speeches about right and wrong, but they will remember that Nana wrestled or colored or painted or baked. And if the last memory they have is Nana being silly, I pray it teaches them to love and live life. To have fun and enjoy what we have.
Sometimes I believe that some people can only function when and if they have drama and if it doesn't present itself to them, they will manifest it in their everyday actions. I'm sure there's a technical term for it but I can't recall it at the moment. Life is truly short (Yes I hate this phrase) But in truth, we only have today. Only tonight actually. Tomorrow hasn't come yet.
So instead of being angry, sad, disappointed or pitiful, look into your day and search for the true good you experienced. You did, I promise and if you can't find it right now, it is because you've closed your eyes to any good you might deserve.
When I awake in the morning (even after no hours of sleep) I thank the Lord for my day. I actually say "Come with me today Lord and teach me and show me what you see" I didn't always do this and I promise those days back then when I didn't, I saw only ugly. When I'm delayed my prayers are "What's next? Lord?" Because I do know that it's in His control and I'm merely a vessel. I'm waiting for his direction, even when it's not in line with what I believe should be the next step. Try to stay aware, if the very least you can do in the morning is get up and be thankful for the sky, whether it's dark and gray or warm and sunny, acknowledge it. Praise him for it and ask him to come along with you that day and see what he sees. Believe me, my friends, in one week, the world will look amaingly different to you!
