As I Bitch

I was sitting here bitching about the fact that I didn't sleep well last night and I was up way to early and its really my own fault but I am also very thankful that I stayed up late by choice, not because of pain, I am also grateful that this morning I opened my eyes another day to see my family and hug and kiss them one more time. I am thankful for the ability to sit here and speak and type because I know so many people out there can not do this. I often sit  back and put things into perspective and just be happy and smile. Smiling is the best form of medicine. Its free and you never know a smile could make someone's day better. I always take the time to smile and say hi to someone just because I'm sure their battle is far greater then the battles I face in a day. I took a moment to reflect on some things said to me last night by a selfish little 16 year old girl who has a hard life given but so angry and mean. Calling me a horrible mother, a horrible person, degrading my children before she even knew any facts about me and I couldn't imagine being that angry. I tried to talk and reason with her and in the end all her name calling, all her attitude all her delusional insults have made me even a stronger person today. I need to just  be thankful for everything I have and everything I do because no matter what she said to me, no matter how late I stayed up or even how tired i am right now. I get to feel these raw feelings because some people just do not get that opportunity today.
