Sometimes a day is just a day. The pits. A no good, very bad day. Days when it seems like it would be a good idea to climb back in bed than to continue with my adult-y duties. These days happen - to everybody.
Today I had the opportunity to volunteer with several of my colleagues at Feed My Starving Children. This is a great foundation that purchases, packs and ships meals to third world countries - and feeds children (hence the name). Today we packed 46 boxes of food - 36 bags of food per box - 6 meals per bag. Do the math (because I can't). I was a part of feeding these children, and to be honest, had a great time doing it. It didn't hurt that we had a couple of adult beverages afterwards to celebrate our philanthropy.
Doing things like this, volunteering, really put life in perspective.
So, back my point that there are just days sometimes. Yes, I have days. Days that I want to crawl back in bed, but life could be worse. Doesn't it make sense to find the silver lining? To look for the positive? To smile even though something is tearing up your insides?
Yes, it does.
There are children who are hungry. Families who are struggling. People are going through things far worse than I. So, I vow to keep my chin up and hear the birds chirping because life is pretty darn good, isn't it?
