every single day,
even though you complain constantly,

even though you never have much good to say about anything,
even though you focus on every bad F!@#$* thing,
even though you never focus more than 2 seconds on any one good thing,
even though you think you are weak,
even though you are scared,
even though you are insecure and ineffectual,
even though you don't stand up for yourself when you should,
even though when he speaks to you through the voices of so many people in your life either on this site and through your friends and family,
even though you never listen to him,

he still makes time for you,
to "wake you up" every day even though you squander the gift of life given to you, he still wakes you up everyday so that you can bitch about how hard life is, methinks it's possible the old man is giving you a message, maybe he wouldn't bother "waking you up" everyday if he didn't believe in you and the untapped potential that's in you waiting for you to actualize and release it. That is the power he has given you, that along with the power of choice, to continue living like you are or choosing to do better.

Thank God for that gift of "waking you up" everyday literally because regardless of how bad your life is, there is some poor schmuck out there who has it 10 or 100 times worse.

FYI - His (God) patience is infinitely greater than my own.
