Sometimes I wonder about things in this world. I look around and I see everyone, it seems, doing better than me. I think why not me, why isn’t this happening for me. I know it’s bad to compare yourself to other people but I’m human and I do it. I have gotten better at it though and I don’t dwell on things constantly the way I used to. Anyway I find FB and Instagram really hard to take sometimes. Everyone seems to be traveling and having the best time of their life. Everyone seems to be a able to buy new things such as tech which I would love to buy. I know that it’s basically a brag book and people only post the best times but it still is hard to take when you don’t seem to be having any best times.

I love my job but the trade off is that I’m in a field where you don’t make a million dollars and never will. I’ve made that choice but it is so hard when you really try to do the right things financially and you never get ahead. The struggle never lets up it seems. I just hope it will soon. I keep my hopes and dreams alive by reminding myself that every day is a new day and I can continue to make the right choices and one day it will pay off. But did you ever feel like it will never pay off. I don’t think I’m the only one that feels that way. If that is the case then I just better stay away from social media. But I keep trudging along because I do have that hope. I hope that for all of you too. Keep going. Things do change and sometimes it’s slow but it will happen. I believe that because if I didn’t the struggling would be overwhelming and I couldn’t keep doing it. I hope you keep at it and you will triumph. After all why can’t it happen for me or for you. It can and it will.

Keep at it even when it feels like you’re trudging up a hill in knee deep mud. Never give up. Things change, that’s about the only true constant in life. Everything has to change in some way eventually.

Today is a sunny day and I’m going to find my joy in looking up at the bright blue sky. I may even do some cloud watching. My Mom loves to look at the sky and wonder what that cloud looks like. Find something simple to find your joy. It doesn’t have to cost a thing. Have a great week!
