I think its incredibly easy to get annoyed at life and let lots of things get you down. The power of positive thinking is very strong.

There are some things in life I can’t imagine going through for example losing a child, but there are some issues that can be solved with a complete change of attitude. If you keep thinking the worst it is likely that the worst will happen.

My friend sent me this blog the other day, the person who writes it seems so angry with everything in life and so incredibly unhappy. Maybe the grumpiest person ever? Hopefully you will see my point and realize with a chnage of attitude its amazing what can be fixed:

Let me know what you think.

I wrote a spur of the moment post on Friday called Why. In that post I mentioned “IF there is some higher power….” I was venting, angry and not seeing a bit of sense in this thing we call life. That is why we created this site, for that purpose. A short time later I received an email from an out of state, long time friend stating her concern. The problem is she was not stating her concern about why I was feeling that way, it was about WHY I questioned God!
Although I know she will read this post too I am going to quote what she said to me in the email because I was so angry I thought I was going to explode!

There is a God. There is a Jesus. We may not always understand His reasons for what he does, we have to trust him. Death is not permanent. We make a decision to trust Him or not. It’s Heaven or it is hell. It’s that simple. Being angry w/God is okay. He gave you that emotion, but questioning His existence is another. Yes, you are right when you say that it doesn’t seem fair that some people that have kids, abuse them, those that want them don’t have them or worse, have them then lose them. I couldn’t agree more. While I do not know your pain & pray that I never will, I do know that God loves you & He is in charge & has a purpose for everything.
Take care. I know today is a hard day for all of you. Time doesn’t make it go away, but it may make it easier.

• “It is heaven or hell. It’s that simple.” — When has anything in life been simple?
• “…questioning his existence is another” — If “God” is an all powerful being and he knows our every move then he will know what is truly in our hearts. He will judge us for the people we are inside, not the people we portray to be on the outside.
• “…but it may make it easier.” — If I hear that phrase one more time I am going to rip someone’s tongue out. Time does not make it better, it never will. You are still without a loved one that was torn away from you way to young. I understand that people who have not had that experience may want to say that to make you feel better, but imagine yourself in that situation, would time make it better for you? THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK!

See I used to be a very reserved person, not wanting to say what was on my mind in fear of hurting someone or causing a stir. Well on Jan. 23rd of 2006, that all changed for me, I now realize that life is too short to be what other people think you should be. I speak my mind and do not hold anything back. I will say again we are all individuals with independent free minds which we feel gives us the right to express our thoughts.

Hate me if you want to love me if you can….

I would like to add that my “friend” did send an apology email and I was thankful for that. I did appreciate her concern, it was just the way she went about it that upset me.
