that quote was from a commercial several years ago that i loved to watch. i really can't remember what the ad was about? it featured a very old african american man in front of his garden in downtown detroit. he was talking about how he loved his life and the life he lived. i thought to myself, wow, he is one cool dude! here he is in the middle of a lot of chaos happening in detroit, yet, he can find happiness within that place. i say that quote to myself many times, i say it when i do love my life and when i don't. i have so much to be grateful for, i have nothing to complain about and yet i still do manage to complain and bitch about seemingly little things! i like to complain about the weather. i live near the shores of lake superior and in the month of nov. we average 73% cloud cover. the rest of the year doesn't seem much better, we average over 200" of snow a year! yet, it is an awesome place despite the weather and i have a great life!
when i say that quote to myself i think about that man and what a wonderful attitude he had about his life an attitude i would like to share!!
