Slice of heaven, Yeah!

Yesterday while in the car Jimmy Barnes was being interviewed about his new song, Before the Devil knows your dead. He was asked if he believed in Heaven, to which he replied that he is living it. He feels that rich or poor you make your Heaven on Earth and should enjoy everyday. I was watching the cartoon movie Cars with my boys this morning and the boss of the awesome sponsor asked Lighting McQueen to be the face of Dinoco. Lighting said 'but I didn't win' Boss man said 'it isn't about winning, it is how you race.'

So other then sprouting off a couple of nice things, it got me thinking. Do I look at the life I am living and appreciate our slice of heaven. Not enough I am sad to say. I look at the challenges more then the successes, I get lost in the chores of living far too frequently. These two very simple scenarios have challenged me greatly. How can I miss the shining light that radiates from my little ones faces? I have been in a dark place since my pregnancy with H1 and I don't like it. I haven't got professional help in either form of pills and counseling and it isn't only me that is feeling the drag of life that the weight of depression can leave. My 'she'll be right, I can do it myself' attitude is affecting us all so much. The way I am racing isn't how I want to race any longer. I am needing a readjustment in my thinking and I am hoping that through these two very normal antidotes to living I can move forward into the light and feel the sun's rays on my soul again.
