At some point in my life, I realized that if I changed my attitude about events to a positive one, life didn't seem so daunting, so bit by bit I began to be more positive, even in the worse situations.  Bit by bit, I began to look for the blessings in all situations.  Bit by bit, I started counting my blessings everytime something went wrong. Bit by bit, I began to give all to God because the weight of perceived problems was making me miserable.  In some instances, nothing changed.  Things were still messed up, but I changed and all those so called obstacles became very small and I was able to handle them much better.

I am getting better at doing this every day.  The "journey" has not been easy, but it is so rewarding.  I am stronger now.  I know when I have had enough foolishness and drama.  I know how to walk away from arguments caring not who won or loss.  I know how to remain calm in the midst of chaos.  I know how to pick my battles and how to handle the problems.  My journey of "becoming" continues.  I believe it will never end.  I am still evolving into what? I know not. I do know that I am changing into something wonderful....smiling.  :-)
