Things That Don’t Suck

Things That Don’t Suck

I remember it like it was yesterday.
This woman, at least 20 years older than me
offered to help me get something
I could not reach from my wheelchair.
Then she said it,
your life must suck.
If I had to use a wheelchair,
I would wish I was dead.
I remember telling her
it was a good thing she was not me.
It is amazing
how people think of situations as sucking,
but those who are going through
say it’s a challenge,
but it doesn’t suck.
Losing the feeling in my right side
doesn’t suck,
My wife and so many of my friends
being diagnosed with cancer,
doesn’t’ suck.
Did they want it -  no,
Would they want to go through it again – no,
Would I – no,
Were there moments I did not want to go through
yes,
the moments may have sucked,
but my life doesn’t
it sucked when I failed a test,
but having earned 4 degrees
and several certifications,
that moment sucked,
but what came from it
and out of it did not.
Do I like having to have surgery and biopsies
every 5 years – no,
But I am still here
and my life doesn’t suck
Do I like having two degenerative diseases?
No, but I am still here
and my life doesn’t suck.
What can suck in life is our attitude
but we can keep it from sucking
by changing our perspective.
Life doesn’t suck,
but our attitude towards it can.

In the Moment

In the Moment

There is nothing like sitting
in the moment
and appreciating
the little things in life.
Those things we forget
to give thanks for
like the air we breathe,
the water which flows through our faucets
and pipes
and indoor pluming
and toilets,
and showers,
and our own washer and dryer.
Sometimes I take something simple
like water
and that makes me give thanks for something else
and that reminds of another blessing,
and so forth and so on.
Like the water reminds me
about the ways I use it
like cooking,
drinking,
washing,
cleaning,
and the list goes on.
It is not the big things,
but the little things
that I am so grateful for
and the way they make
me aware of them
when I sit
in the moment.

Celebrate the Moment

Happiness,
like other feelings,
is a moment.
It is not a wave,
it is not a length of time,
it is not unending.
It is like a wave.
It comes,
we experience it,
and it is gone.
Then it comes again.
In that moment
we celebrate the way we feel.
We celebrate the
happiness,
the experience,
the situation, and
all that is.
It is that moment,
when the joy spreads through us
and fills us with that feeling
which only happiness can bring.
It is then that we sit and
celebrate the moment.
