Its very simple,
sometimes I think I have a shite life.
However I know that is not really true.

I have shitty things happen in my life,
I have shitty things done to me by shitty people,
and they have a shitty effect on me and my life,
but in real terms, I have a good life.

I have lovely lovely children, who KNOW I love more than anything in the world.
and I KNOW they love me too
I have parents who are still on this earth
who love me and know I love them.

I have the best sister in the world my earth angel whom
I mentioned frequently in my blogs, her husband, who
is my crisis in the home manager, my DIY saviour
I have siblings who I love and mostly we rub along okay.

My extended family cousins, aunts, uncles,
nephews and nieces and my favourite aunt
who is actually an in-law aunt,
but since the day I met
her we got on great.

I have good friends, and a good job, and I work
with some lovely people, friends and colleauges.

So although sometimes I feel like it is all falling
apart, and it is a shitty life,
(and some of the shitty things,
are really shitty), believe me.

I know I have good things,
good people, and I thank god, the universe,
whoever, whatever, that I have these things
they keep me going, they keep me strong.

So yeah I have shitty things done by shitty people,
and shitty moments.

But

I have a good life.

Lately I have just been all doom and gloom,
Not that that has changed, but I thought you might
like to partake of another nice night I had.

My oldest daughter, well actually both of them,
love to sing, the oldest girl is in the choir in school,
they take it very serious in her school, and were in a
choir competition in the locality last night.

Usually they are much further afield and I dont get to go.
Anyway last night I went with the youngest and a friend of hers,
and sat and listened and loved the singing, the peace and the whole
youthful, refreshing and hope filled atmosphere.

I watched her sing her heart out, she looked so composed,
so serene, and yet you knew her and her friends and peers,
were having a ball.

The even better end to it was they won, but then they are
pretty fab anyway.

A good day all round.
