The World's Smallest Violin

remember when you were a kid and you had your tiny heart broken about something and you told your friends and all they said was "oh look i have the world's smallest violin and it's playing a sad sad song for you." no? that didn't happen to you? well it did to me. and while it was irritating then, it did (and does) help me put things in perspective.

i don't think of my self as a "positive person" or even one that you could call "happy" in the traditional sense, but i do believe that life is inherently good. but if you spend all of your time thinking about what you are not, or what you don't have, or what could have been, then you are going to miss it all. you are going to miss all the really good juicy-laugh-your-head-off-love-every-minute-of-it stuff. and more importantly, you are going to miss the point of this wonderful journey.

yes, i know that life just sucks sometimes. trust me, i'll save you the sob stories, but know that i know that it just sucks some days. but here's the deal, without the bad you can't know how really flippin' good the good truly is. so, put the tiny violin away, shred the sad sad song, and find a way to find happiness in today's part of the journey.

peace, love, and happiness. in the mean time...daisies.
