Time Left Over

Forrest Gump succeeded because his momma loved him.  She never made excuses for who he was or tried to stuff him down into a pre-made mold.  She gave him the gift of a positive outlook.  He did the best he knew how, thought it was good enough and most of the time it was!

That's about as good as it gets.

It's good to have people out to protect our rights and it's even better when life is fair, but when all is said and done -- it is what it is.  Learning to live with that and make the most of it is the biggest difference between a good life and a struggle.

So many of life's tragedies are made worse by the way people look at them.  There is a time to be sad and even a time for outrage, but ultimately there is a lot more time left over and I don't want to be defined by the bad things in my life.

Wallowing is for pigs not people.

Listen, learn, look around.  Find something fascinating and go for it!  That's the freedom of being human.
