April 3rd

Many curse the fact of getting up early in the morning. Why curse such a time when you can really see how our world works. As I awoke this morning, I realized a few things. I woke up, no one to greet in the morning except a few pictures staring back at me. It was quiet and peaceful, nevermind the sun still had not come up.

I had my shower, got into uniform and started off my day with an apple in one hand and my bag in the other.


As I started off my walk to the city bus, I turned on my music. Listening to calming yet exhilarating sounds woke me up and started my day off well.
As I walked I noticed that at this early in the morning, I was one of the few that were out. Thinking about life and decisions, this walk was great for me. Many would say that I sound corny by saying this, but I feel that these moments are what helps me in life.

As I waited at the bus stop, I thought about this past year and the bad and good decisions that I have made. I feel that I should look at the good decisions that I have made and learn from my mistakes. I should stop beating myself up about things that I cannot change. I love soo much but hurt way too much as well.

I think that a life without love, is no life at all. I should be thankful that I have a heart that could concure any other in any battle. I should see that I have and will do so much in a world that needs me. As the warmth of the spring breeze hits me, I automatically feel good about myself.

A little while later, people are starting to awake for work. One by one, I see the lights in the buildings turn on. Cars are now llining up at the traffic lights for a green signal to head off on their adventures for the day. On a random thought, I realize that I am not alone in this world. I realize that in almost every case, in every problem, there are MANY who have it worse. I have been blessed to have a life in freedom and with a family that would die for me,

A friend once told me that I have a personality that could light up the world. For so long I didn't believe this, but today I did. I got onto the city bus and greeted the bus driver with a good morning smile. Although he seemed tired and grouchy, he smiled back. I started a conversation with a man who gets up this early EVERYDAY. We talked about how he has been supporting his family for years. We swapped advice and I went about my day by transferring buses.

As the sun came up I felt a smile, and I was so enlightened to have such a beautiful day come about me. Not just in the sense of the weather but in the thoughts and realizations of the travel to work.

Work was stressful, but I did have good day. A tiring one at that, but a good day.
Life is good. I am blessed for life I have and the people in my life. I am blessed to be alive today. I couldn’t ask for anything more…. Because not everyone has a life like mine…. And many may have better lives, but I am betting they don’t appreciate it like I do.
