A Little Happy Thought

Alright. Let's all try for a little bit of positivity shall we? I know we can do it! Just concentrate. =)

Seriously though, I was contemplating my awful last couple of days and the few things that did manage to give me moments of happiness. Guess that's what life is right? Perspective.

So there was my family who are always good for a little love and encouragement. And a real good talk with a real good friend. These were almost essential to getting through the tough spots. More than the people on the giving end probably even knew.

Another happy moment came to me at not so happy a place. Funny how that works isn't it? Let me explain. I recently started volunteering in pediatrics at the hospital near where I live. I'm really enjoying it already even though I've hardly begun. I look forward to my next visit. There's just something about kids, especially the really little ones, that is so pure and good. Even in that state that alot of them are in, which is quite sad, they are so fresh and free from a life of mistakes. So very innocent to the awfulness of the world. So very good. Expecially the babies. A brand new little life. And there's something extremely calming, well for me anyway, to sit with one close to you and rock and sing and just give a little bit of love. Maybe that's it. The feeling of giving something to someone, as simple as a cuddle, that could really use it. So precious these little lives are.

Well, don't know if I succeeded. Even my happy thoughts have a tinge of sadness, but a good effort nonetheless.
