Sort of Realizations While In the Middle of Distress

[Shirley Hickman]

Whenever I feel like life is being rude to me, I always try to lift my spirit up through thinking and then counting my blessings. I always try to be positive and not to complain.

I am one of those freelance essay writers. I have no permanent or full-time job. The recession really hit had on me. Of course, I envy my friends who have established their careers somehow already. I envy the fact that while I'm at home the whole day and night, my friends are part of the professional crowd walking along the streets of New York.

Though there were times that I almost questioned my current destiny, I try not to by just sitting down and looking at how mean life is to other people. I am blessed. I know I am. I may not be successful in finding my place in the professional world right now, I know, at the right time it'll be handed to me as well. Just like how luck and fate handed it to my friends.

I guess for now, I should just enjoy my life and the blessings that I receive everyday.
