I can relate to what you say here. I took care of both parents while working and going to school part time. Focusing on the positive is the way to go and writing is great therapy. Best wishes!

Comment from Cairn Destop
It is like the old question about the glass. Is it half full or half empty? Perspective does affect us and we either revel in the perceived challenge or wallow in self pity about missed opportunities. Liked how the author took each situation and turned it around. As you said, sometimes we forget how much we have by focusing on what we often perceive as lost. No SPAG spotted while reading.

Comment from jadapenn
Hi Pupa, this is a lovely positive essay. One only has to look around and start to give thanks for the things we have, and not get grumpy because of things we don't have or can't get. Perhaps at times there's a bigger reason for us not being able to undertake a trip.
I liked the writing style here and your positive attitude.
best regards. jada

Comment from Jean Lutz
Just said a prayer to God above, that while you care for another He would show you special love.
Sometimes the greatest joy comes when you least expect it. Your piece reminds me of a dear young woman I know. About a year ago she was going to travel across the country in a bus with 30 other young people. They would stop in 30 cities to minister to teens. She was not looking forward to the close relationship with others. Little did she know during that tour she and another counselor would fall madly in love. They were married this spring by a lovely lake as the sun went down.
What He has done for others He can do for you.

Comment from nora arjuna
hi pupa. this was a good read which i think is a good lesson for everyone. we tend to take things for granted and never appreciate enough.
check these:
-I [opened the air-condition] and then sat at my computer.
I switched on the air-conditioner...
-Thank God I have an air-condition - should be air-conditioner
take care. sorry to hear about your mother. taking care of the elderly can be very challenging. been there, taking care of my late mother-in-law.

You have discovered the power of postitive thinking and energy. Have you read "The Promise"? It talks all about the way to change your attitude and life with changing the energy in your life from negative to positive. I enjoyed reading your change from feeling badly about your situation to being grateful.
