when the school you want your children to go to costs over 10,000 a year
when don't feel like you and your son are on the same page, and you are not sure how to respond to his recent displays of attitude, power, and spunk
you work with a student who is so far behind and you wonder what his chances in life are.
nothing can get done as far as health care and politics because the rights' only agenda is to sabotage the current president.
other children aren't given the services they deserve
you have ideas, passions, interests but truly don't have the time or interest or energy to pursue them.
those closest to you aren't all that healthy.
you hold your adorable daughter close and truly grasp the concept that she will only be this small for such a short amount of time.

These are all very real frustrations-all ones that I think about often. I get so down when I focus on the negatives. I always tell my three year old son that life can't always be perfect and that things cant always be exactly the way we want them. Of course, for him it is about not getting the really cool toy dinosaur at the toy store or the chocolate milk at the grocery store. It would be great if our wants were that simple but in reality it is all the same for everyone no matter how complex the desire is. We are very fortunate to have so many things we do want and love. It would be unrealistic to expect everything to be perfect. We should focus on what we do want and what we do have rather than on what we don't have or what is negative in our lives.
Yes, Joy you are right. And most of my blog focuses on the positive. I have so much, so much love, support, family, friends. Two wonderful children. Sometimes, though, it is good to put out into the universe what weighs you down, and in doing so you feel freer than before.
the good the bad and the ugly. its all fair game. youre the best
