Perspective

Life is amazing at the moment.

Some may ask why and I could give a very long explanation,

But the simple answer.

One of my best friends comes home on Thursday.

Some may think I am crazy, other's my be confused as to why.

Again... I could give a very long explanation.

However I have a better Idea.

I met a man named Gene.

He gave me perspective on my life.

He is one of the most sincere men I have ever come in contact with.

He was once able to see and is now blind.

But,

He doesn't let it get him down.

We asked how he felt when he realize he was blind?

If he was sad or discouraged...

He said,

"No, I was relieved. I found an answer as to why it was so dark!"

I have been moved by him.

Someone else asked.

"Do you ever go through depression?"

His reply.

"Once, for about 20 min. Then I realized I wasn't happy so I stopped. It seemed to be worse, Why would anyone want that. So... I choose to be happy."

hmm...

A lot has happened in the last 2 years.

I have gone through the whole spectrum of emotion.

But I find that life is the greatest when

I

choose

to be happy, look at the positive side, see how I can help someone in need, see how I am able to serve and be an example to those around me.

I can do that.

So thanks to Gene I have a new perspective.

I have heard it before, of course, who doesn't want to be happy.

But I witnessed first hand that in the deepest darkest of times...

It's possible.

I will always appreciate Gene for that.

So I'm ready for Thursday to come.

To close a chapter in life and start another one.

I'm stoked.

Come what may and Love it :]
