Don't worry, this is not one of those "brag about my awesome life" posts. No siree.
This is a from the heart, how I am feeling today, post.
I am usually struggling in January, trying to get through the winter blues, for no reason. Except that I like to complain about the cold, the snow, and the darkness.
This January, I find myself with problems, worries, trials, concerns, and unanswered questions.
But, in the back of my mind, I keep hearing Tyler's wise Grandpa Jensen saying, "Life is Good".
And, he's right. Life is Good.
I was wired with an inherent ability to find the negative in everything, to be the pessimist. But I am trying daily, on a minute by minute basis, to find the good, the positive, the light in everything.
Without trials and struggles we would not progress and grow. I don't want to get any taller, but I do hope I am growing.
Everyone has trials; it's how we handle them that defines us.
My blessings certainly out number my tribulations.
And, so, Life is Good.
