Living for today

It's hard to do.. but it's something I try to remember...

There seems to be so many distractions in life, seemingly so many problems, so little time to do everything.. I complain a lot.. but there's a lot I should be thankful for... a lot to be happy about... I am surrounded by people I love, whom I love back... even though sometimes it seems otherwise...

I have a home when many in the States are living on the streets and asking for spare change for their basic survival... it's hard to see this all the time whenever u go out... some of them smile and still tries to joke with people passing by, many who don't even acknowledge their presence... but it's so hard, to acknowledge them but yet unable to help them all... there's just too many...

I have clothes (more than enough), food and luxuries that I take for granted everyday...

Life is hard here but then I already have much more than so many others...

This is not the first time I write about this, but it serves more as a reminder for myself than for any of you who are now reading this...

I hope I don't forget how lucky I am...
