The other side of the coin

I found this on the internet and loved it.
Thought it very appropriate for looking at our life from a different perspective

The Other Side of the Coin

I am thankful.... For the taxes that I pay, Because it means that I am employed. For the mess to clean after a party, Because it means that I have been surrounded by friends. For a lawn that needs mowing, Windows that need cleaning, And gutters that need fixing, Because it means that I have a home. For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot, Because it means I am capable of walking And that I have been blessed with transportation. Or my huge heating bill Because it means I am warm. For the lady behind me in church that sings off key, Because it means that I can hear. For the pile of laundry and ironing, Because it means I have clothes to wear. For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day, Because it means I have been capable of working hard. For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours, Because it means that I am alive. And finally....... For all the e-mails I receive each day, Because it means I have friends who think of me In places far away and near.

 Until we create more happy people in this world things will be difficult to change. BUT Everyone of us are capable of creating happiness in our own little universe and as long as we ensure that all the people around us are happy and safe then hopefully this will send a ripple to expand out into the bigger universe. Our own little universe is not perfect but then no world is. When I look amongst my friends I see that all of us have everything we need to be grateful. We are all surounded by people that love us warts and all. So we are lucky.  There is NOT one person on this earth that doesn't have quirks and faults and EVERYONE on this earth was born with the right to feel happy and safe.
No parent should lose a child and no child should feel so alone. It is senseless.

So next time you see someone who is just that little bit different from YOUR perception of normal, don’t judge them or harass them. Smile and Let them be. They deserve it and YOU CAN make a difference.

Cheers
