What is the sum ...

When you add it all up, how does it total out .... tell me that. I have been pondering that throughout the recent weeks and I ask YOU .... how does it all total up for you? I have seen more in my days thusfar than I would have liked. It certainly could have been worse, I have not had a "bad" life thusfar, by my estimation, but nonetheless there are a few things I would rather have not learned so early. I am not in the mood to blog about those specific issues. At this point, I am more inclined to ponder/ post this thought for you reader ..... How does it sum up ..... When you total the positives and negatives of your past and present, how does it sum up? If we really want to get "real", lets factor in our perception of our future .... so simply put, stop and think, when you consider your past, your present, and your future how do you view it .... are you "in the black" .... are there more positives than negatives? Be careful, mood plays a part in this analysis ... When we are cross, it is easier to dismiss the positives and focus on the negatives ... When we are filled with bliss, it is simpler to gloss over the negatives and be consumed with positives alone. I urge you to catch yourself in an "honest" moment and reflect. Check your total, and balance your book ... if the total isn't where it should be, adjust ....
