Good Things


"All Good Things Must Come To An End."

I disagree.
We were told this as kids at the end of a long day at the fair grounds or Chuck E. Cheese, as our parents found themselves at the end of their energy rope.

This adage needs to be recycled and replaced with
"All Bad Things Must Come To An End."

The truly good things in life never end. Sure, the sun may set on a particularly great day and the "great day" has come to an end. However, the memories and warm feelings from this day will never leave. Think about the small experiences, such as a particularly delicious bowl of ice cream. "All Good Things Must Come To An End?" No. The privilege of having experienced the taste of the most delicious bowl of ice cream will never leave.

Let's allow the bad things to come to an end. Experiencing a bad day where it feels more like a nightmare than real life--we all get those. The fact of the matter is, these days will eventually end and the Red Sea will be parted.

If you have had the privilege to experience something good in your life, be grateful.
The majority of people in this world have not been fortunate enough to experience whatever it is that you experienced. Life itself is a gift, so enjoy. The good things in life will never end, but rather continue as fond memories to be appreciated for years to come.


The bad things can end if you allow them to. Don't let them overstay their welcome.
