Sometimes I am feeling so good just to wake up in the morning that I have to say, “Thank you, thank you, thank you, God!”  Other times, I forget to be thankful for all that is good in my life, and I can feel disgruntled for no particular reason.  But, if I remember that I can call to mind any of the many good things I do have, everything can be transformed in an instant.

I guess it is part of being human, to fail to see the good at times, when the daily news is usually filled with more negative stories than positive ones.  But we need not succumb to this attitude of hopelessness and despair.  We can always change our minds and hearts, if we want to do so badly enough.  Sometimes, we can see this clearly, and sometimes we can’t.

There are times when each one of us must face grief and sadness.  That is also just a part of being human.  Sometimes, we are able to see the path to peace and follow it, while other times it is nearly impossible.

And sometimes, when everything seems to be going our way,  we do not see the pitfalls that lie ahead.  And that is when we must allow others to help us, and be there for us.  No one is strong all the time.

At all times, we are each responsible for our actions.  But sometimes, when we fail to see that and take responsibility, we have consequences to pay.  Sometimes that needs to happen before an important lesson can be learned.

Whether we are happy or sad, angry or forgiving, kind or mean, silly or serious, there are times for each of us to feel all these things.  And some days, like today, I just like to ponder all the “sometimes” of my life.  Do you feel this way sometimes too?
