D.J. Gregory - The Long Walk of Possibility

Some days when I wake up and think of all the things I need to do, all the challenges and hoops I have to jump through, I sometimes feel overwhelmed and discouraged - will this ever end, will I see a light at the end of the tunnel, will I finally be able to lead a normal life and see my children healthy and happy - will I finally achieve what most normal people have in their lives...

Some days, I feel like crawling back into bed, shutting out my day to day existence and crawling between the pages of a book - losing myself in a fantasy world with a happy ever after ending. I admit, somtimes I have my own little pity party that lasts for about an hour, mainly because there are no other guests to talk to, and although I can be a brilliant conversationalist (it's my story and I'll tell it the way I want...) it does get boring talking to ones self for too long.

Truth be told, I really don't have a lot to complain about, and besides, no one likes to listen to a whiner. Everyone has challenges, some more than others, but we all have our own sets of problems that we wish would just go away.

This morning, as usual, I was contemplating the things I needed to do over my morning cup of coffee - checking my e-mails and hubpages scores etc., and I opened an e-mail from a friend which I am going to share with everyone here on hubpages.

This truly puts things in perspective - whenever you are feeling like you simply can't face another day, and your troubles and challenges become too heavy to lift, I urge you to step out of your circumstances for a few minutes and watch this video. It certainly gave me food for thought.

Many of us are worried about finances or relationships
