Day 282

Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful recovering alcoholic/addict.  I have been talking about depression and being down, and getting back up.  Now that I'm sober, my life has gotten better.  Not perfect but a lot better.  I still have bad days, but I need to look at it this way.  It's one day.  Tomorrow is an new day, so just make it through this day, and enjoy the good in it.  And ya know what?  In a few days or weeks, I probably won't even remember it.  Now some days I will never forget, losing a loved one, losing a job or what not.  But a lot of the "bad" days, just aren't as good as we expected.  Sometimes we expect every day to be fantastic and amazing.  But in reality, it's life.  We all have our ups and downs.  There are some people who we think have it all, all the money, all the friends, fancy cars, and fancy houses.  We think their life is perfect.  But look at Robin Williams, he had it all, or so we thought.  He had everything, but his true happiness.  When you take away all the material things, he is just like us.  Another human being trying to make it through it this thing we call life.  And we only have one shot at it, so why not enjoy the ride. So keep your head up, and have a great day!

Makes me think of Matthew 6:34, “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."
Life isn't going to be perfect for any of us, but the previous verses say that if we seek after the Lord who loves us, our needs will be provided. :-)
Thanks for the daily blog reminders...I need them, haha
