I was looking at the waves and thinking…

Been to Manila Bay and I was looking at the waves and thinking that despite the chaos of the moment I was happy. You see my life had been in quite a bit of turmoil for the past few weeks and the ocean was just what I needed. It reminded me that amidst life’s storms there is a certain order to life, an ebb and a flow. Right now was a moment that just like a wave would be gone in but a moment. I realized that it is important to enjoy the rough times as well as the smooth; otherwise, life would be simply a sand dune instead of a beach. I was happy and that was all that mattered because despite what had occurred I know that how I responded to the moment was more important that the moment itself. I cannot change the ocean in life but I can ride the waves. There will be moments when I am on top and there will be moments when I will be crushed, but as long as I come up for air and breathe…just breathe, then I know that life will go on.

I will be happy because I made my mind up long ago that I choose to live life and not to let life live me.

I am done waiting and so I breathe…just breathe.

I am still breathing and that some days breathing is all that matters.
