What a wonderful world

I just viewed a powerpoint slide show of pictures of Obama accompanied by the music of Louis Armstrong and Kenny G on sax and it hit me.

Even in the midst of all the negativity, there is still some positive aspect of life to hold on to. The flowers, the leaves, trees, water, the sky ,sunshine, love, friends, people, buildings, grass, stars, etc. I could go on forever!

You can even find beauty in things labeled to be depressing or ugly. I find beauty in old historical sites, cemeteries, dead flowers, rainy days, etc.

TO HAVE DEATH, ONE MUST HAVE LIFE!

This IS a wonderful world!

So to close this blog off iI will do an exercise I learned to do in co counselling:

5 new and good things in the past week:

-I graduated from UWI with a BA in Musical Arts Special

-Dinner with my mom, aunt and LCD after grad (sponsored by LCD)

-Dinner with LCD and Aunty D on 2 occasions (one sponsored by aunty, other by LCD)

-Being able to talk with my aunt about developments in my life and my past

-Everyday lunchtimes with LCD.

I could go further, but for now I will leave it at 5. 

I will try to do this everyday and eventually lengthen this list.

But for now, try to remember and focus on the smaller things in life.

It IS a wonderful world!
