Well, here it is, the last in the initial series of seven. I just finished re-reading all the others. Thank you all for reading and leaving positive feedback. It makes me happy to know I made one or two of you smile.
After thinking about it some, my favorite of the series is PP3. A beautiful day, good music, simple pleasures with loved ones -- all remind me that it's just so damn good to be alive. Where there is life, there's always hope, even if it's just the faintest flicker. Life's not meant to be merely endured, it's meant to be savored and enjoyed.
I know we all have burdens we carry, and some of them are very heavy. Believe me, I've had my share of crap thrown at me. And I'm a long way away from being Little Merry Sunshine. But I would rather be remembered as someone who laughed and loved, rather than someone who became embittered and withdrew.
I've had a few people ask if I was going to continue this series. I dunno -- maybe. I did it chiefly as an experiment to see if I could focus on the positive in my life rather than the negative. I really had to reach for a couple of them. I sat in front of the computer and thought, shit, now what? A few times the positive thing was, hey, I'm still alive!
Hey, I am still alive, and so are every one of you. That's pretty damn good in my opinion.
