Life

Life before death. That's what Christian Aid say in their adverts whilst fighting poverty. Well ' We believe in life before death' to be exact.

how many of us can say we feel really alive?? That we wake feeling sooooo happy to be on this planet and can't wait to get on with the day. Really Living .
What do we mean when we say we feel good to be alive?? Does it mean our little worlds are full and happy and content. Does it mean we have the partner we want, the ideal friends to socialize with and the perfect family to love us?? Does it mean we have more money than we need, a really interesting, stretching job with fantastic prospects?? Or none of these things??

I am not ready to throw in the towel and stop living. But sometimes, just sometimes, I would love to swap my life for someone elses. I have felt so stressed by my job, my life, my unhappiness lately that all I wanted to do was walk out the door and never look back. But I can't.

I must keep working to earn enough money to be able to leave my sad life and start afresh. I should count my blessings and be grateful that I have a job. That my health is not too bad, and that I have a son who still says' I love you' at 15 years of age.

Living. A smile on my face, the wind in my hair and no stress for a day. One day. One day.

All I really want to do is enjoy living.
