Well, it's not always easy for everyone when they wake up. And I can assure you that, I myself, cannot remember the last time I felt bored, lol. But that's because I'm a single mama and I work full time. However I do find it very insightful that you say "you need the bad times to enjoy the good times." I agree. How could we truly enjoy the good times, the happiness, if we never knew anything different?

I'll share a little something with you that I am going to keep vague, as I do not typically share it at all, but due to some very bad decision making on my part when I was just 17 years old, I lived an extremely difficult life for a very long time. I definitely experienced a way of living that is not living at all, and no one should have to experience that. And I paid for it, trust me. Financially, physically, mentally, spiritually, every way possible...for years. And to be honest, if I could go back and change any of it, I wouldn't. Reason? It is because of those struggles, those heart breaking, trying times that I can be grateful for what I consider a "bad day" now. Those days have built my character today and made me the person I am today. And even on my most stressful, aggravating day now, I can still find happiness and I can rest my head on my pillow at night knowing that I haven't intentionally hurt another person and that I am a good person. Years ago I could not say, feel or believe that I was a good person. But today I am, and have been for a very long time now.

Wow...sorry to drop all that on here, lol. I should probably get some sleep. That was a bit too deep for GLP I think!
