Something to think about...

     The other day, I wrote down all the things that make me frightened, worried or depressed. Here they are:

--Hunger

--Falling

--Being Scared

--Darkness

--Feeling Pain

--Speaking When I Shouldn’t

--Winter

--Losing Someone I Love

--Tears

--Rejection

--Roadblocks

--Nightmares

     Then I wrote down everything that made me happy and comforted. Here they are:

--Feeling fulfilled

--Rising

--Sharing my fears

--Dawn

--Being touched

--Being heard

--Spring

--Remembering Someone I Love

--Laughter

--Achievement

--Overcoming a Hurdle

--Dreams

     And guess what I realized? There can be no second category without the first.

Without…                                There can be no…

           Hunger                                   Feeling fulfilled

           Falling                                    Rising

           Being Scared                           Sharing my Fears

           Darkness                                 Dawn

           Feeling Pain                            Being Touched

           Speaking When I Shouldn’t    Being Heard

           Winter                                     Spring

           Losing Someone                     Remembering Someone

           Tears                                       Laughter

           Rejection                                Achievement

           Roadblocks                             Overcoming a Hurdle

           Nightmare                               Dreams
