Life is like this dinosaur. Sometimes we may feel small in this world and feel like others don’t notice us, ignore us, and charge right past us like we don’t exist. But we can either go through life with our head down and sad that we feel like this or we can be like my daughter in this picture and look right out our big obstacle and face it with our eyes wide open. It is definitely not easy to do that and sometimes we need help from others to help pick us up and carry us when we feel small.
My big dinosaur or trial right now is not being happy. Not happy with where we live and tired of how hard it is to make friends sometimes. Most people here have their little groups with those that they are comfortable with and to be honest it gets a little annoying. Also just tired of feeling ignored by others. I sometimes wonder maybe there is something wrong with me that makes others not like me and tonight I said to myself, “Who cares? I am who I am.” I shouldn’t care what others think.
But what can I do to help me become happier? I am stuck here. We aren’t moving anytime soon so how can I be happier?
I have to remind myself that Jesus wants us to be happy. He didn’t create us to be sad. So I am going to try and find three things every day until the end of the month of things that have made me happy.
Today I was happy because my kids were playing nice with one another.
I was also happy because I had cake to come home to and I was happy that I got groceries today.
