I refuse to believe that this is it.
That this is all the life is.
I must believe that there is always something more.
And yet be thankful for the blessings God has set before me.
I know not every wish will come true…
but I also know I must not stop believing.
I know that I will fail.
And I know that I will dust myself off and try again.
because this too is a part of life.
I must strive for perfection
Yet settle with imperfection.
A perfect balance of ups & downs.
some days are more down then others but I suppose that too will have to be ok.
As long as I’m alive today…
I shall smile…and be thankful…for today is just perfect.
I may not have it all figured out but im alive and for today that’s got to be good enough.
That this is all the life is.
I must believe that there is always something more.
And yet be thankful for the blessings God has set before me.
I know not every wish will come true…
but I also know I must not stop believing.
I know that I will fail.
And I know that I will dust myself off and try again.
because this too is a part of life.

I shall smile…and be thankful…for today is just perfect.
I may not have it all figured out but im alive and for today that’s got to be good enough.
