Today's Irritants Are Tomorrow's Sweet Memories

Today's irritants are tomorrow's sweet memories

Are annoyed when you are called over and over again by elderly parent today?
What if you pine for that voice tomorrow?

Seems like you have a lot to do?
What if you are idle and restless tomorrow?

Stuck in traffic today?
What if you reminisce about quality time you had tomorrow?

Listening to elderly parent talk and talk and talk hours on end?
What if there is silence tomorrow?

Let's put things in perspective

It's easy to wish for things we don't have
And always belittle the things we already got


Take a deep breath

You have a lot of chores?
What if everything you had suddenly disappeared?

You have to walk around a lot?
What if a catastrophe changes your life in a single stroke?

You still single wishing for your knight-and-shining armor?
What if your Mr. Right transmits life-threatening disease?


Many are few paychecks away from living under a bridge
Many are cars away from driving off a ridge

As hard as it is seems
Step back
Take a deep breath
Be content in now
And trust the journey
