So glad

There were times in my life when I was not happy about anything. Nothing at all could satisfy me or my needs for more. What was I looking for? I seriously do not have an idea anymore. It just seems so far and so long ago...

But for sure I was not grateful for the mere fact that I was alive. Actually, quite the opposite. I wish I had a different kind of life, different friends and family, different country I could live in and basically, I wish I was different too.

Nothing seemed right at all. But the worst thing was that I just could not figure out what to do about it or how could I change that. Well, first of all I was not even aware that I was doing it!

Once realised that it was me who was thinking the way I did it did not take long to see also the solution to that. When I was doing the thinking which made me unhappy, I can well as think thoughts which would make me happy! There was such a strong logic to it that even my analytical brain could not resist.

And still, I am learning and discovering what am I thanks to those discoveries capable of doing. It has become a game for me, a game of life which I am happy to play because nothing is predictable. Once you start playing there is no going back, even though it is possible but who would want that since the game is so amazing and full of surprises?

Now, today I am proud to be on the receiving end of that card which says I am just so glad that you were born, because frankly, it just would not be fun without you here ;)
