In life many times people just do not realize how lucky they are or how much they really do have. Life sometimes get in the way of what we really have and block the perception of reality. I guess for me it is easier to see these things after what I have been through and I can be honest and show and tell you how lucky you really are and how you should smile everyday.
Now I will put the list up not in any order just random thoughts. First you should be smiling because you have some wonderful kids. They are precious angels and yes all kids may get on your nerves at one time or another, but deep down they always put a smile on your face. Never forget that.
Secondly, you have a job that pays you a decent raise. I know it is not great, but it is better than you really think. I will use myself as an example. For me to make 30-50 dollars in a day I usually will need to work 15-18 hours. Believe me that is no fun. If a normal person makes 6.00 an hour they can make that in half the time I do. It's where I am stuck at right now because of circustances, but it's okay I can still smile about it.
The third reason you should smile is because of who you are and what you are. Over the short time I have known you many things have come to mind about you. Your a very caring person who will do anything for anybody. Your a hard worker and you always give the best you can. Many people cannot see how hard you work and that is a shame. A lot of people do not give you the credit you deserve or the respect and that is not right. Now that your by yourself raising the kids trying to pay bills it is tough. I know I live it everyday. Smile because it show me just how tough you are and what a special mom, friend, and person you really are.
Fourth you have a wonderful rack yummy on you, but I will expand on that as well lol. You have lost a lot of weight recently and I am proud of you for that. You look great. As you drop more pounds you will look even greater and those curves will stand out even more. Mmmmmm lol. Never give up.
Fifth you still have your mother and family around. Besides my brothers and sister every family member is dead. You have people you can go to that's important. Never doubt the importance of family.
As you can see there is a lot to smile about I could go on forever as the list is very long, but there is a partial list. Did I say you had a killer rack oh yeah already by mistake lol
