It's how you look at it

There are some people in this world who have next-to-nothing.

They live a life with the bare necessities required to survive.

They have love and enjoy loving those around them.

They appreciate the smallest things.

I need to take a leaf from their book.

I have plenty to be thankful for (lots & lots in fact).

Yet my mind is in the wrong place at the moment.

I am the only one who can change that. No-one can do it for me.

I am trying really hard to forget what isn't going my way. To forget what I don't have. To ignore those things that upset me but I can't change.

I want to be like this ...
