accept the good

Sundance sent this to me.
Not only does she accept the good in her life, she appreciates it!
I am quite delightful. (smirks while typing)

Embrace the good in your world in whatever form it arrives.
Sometimes those things you least expect, or question the presence of, turn out to be what you most need.
You say “exasperating” I say “fucking delight” either way there is good. It’s win-win!

Occasionally, life is rough.
We’re so focused on the trouble, or pain, all manner of ick that hits us upside the head. Even when we’re swimming around in the ick till our fingers are pruney, there is good in our lives, in the world.
All you have to do is open your eyes.

There is a quote:
When you look for the good in others you discover the best in yourself.

I’m down.
But, when you’re up to up to your ass in the ick, you can’t see anything but the ick. That means you’re not actively looking for the good.
But, if you can accept that there is good all around, even in the most unlikely places, you never have to look for it. You’ll be able to see it.

This seems convoluted af.
(and not exactly what Sundance intended when she sent it)
But I feel like I’m on to something.

There will be good in your life that doesn’t look the way you expect.
I’m not suggesting you change your expectations.
I’m saying accept the good you have.
Might surprise you.

  1. My grandpa taught me that we make a choice each day. We can choose to be angry at the hand that life deals us or we can look for the good in that hand and choose to be happy. It takes so much effort to hang onto anger. He always said it is so much easier to be happy.

  2. So true!

  3. That’s why I love music because then I can sing and dance to my pain and rage! And help flush that shit away. 🙂

  5. Very wise words!!

  6. I love this. The ick can feel so overwhelming at times but I find thinking of things to be grateful for helps remind me it’s not all shit ☯️ ❤️

  7. Reblogged this on Family Furore and commented:
    A down to earth and humorous reminder that there is always good in our lives – we just need to be open to seeing it and accepting it is there.

  8. You’re more than welcome. I had a giggle reading, and so relate ❤

  9. Haha! I need this graphic to send to many of my friends! 🙂
