My Ingredients

      We all have ups and downs in life.  One good way to look at this is to think of them as ingredients.  Mutiple things that taste good and bad alone, but when put togther makes something good such a cake.  I started to ponder, what are my ingredients? These are the results.

       My first ingredient is a happy family.  This is something that is good, such as sugar for a cake it is good alone but better with more.  I feel that without a family I don't know what I would do.  They help me feel comfortable so I can make hard decisions easier.

      My second ingredient is knowing the importance honesty.  Honesty is another good ingredient in my life.  I can walk around with a good consiouns, instead of a bad one.  

       One of my bad things on it's own is that I don't have any grandparents that I can count on for storys for family history searchs.  This would be like the raw eggs for an cake, bad on there own but put together with good things and it is not that bad.

          My last two things are, shelter and food.  These are the icing on the cake!  These two things are valuable to life and I am greatful to have them.

         Those are some parts of my life that when put together don't make life that bad after all. So, think about it the longer you dwell on the one bad thing you can't see the light of life.
