My little reminder

[Momma_Halo]

Last week I checked my mail and I was already in a bad mood as it was. I went into the house and started reading headlines on the magazine titled "Unclutter your life" and "How to be truly happy". For some odd reason it sent me over the edge and I hid under my covers crying. 

My husband tried to make me feel better but made it worse chastising me for not focusing on everything I do have. So there I lay in my tears and feeling sorry for myself until I felt a tiny bit of pressure on my side. I looked through a crack through the pillow to see a pink nose sniffing around. I cracked the pillow a bit more and I recognized the face of my little Ricky. He was given to me by a small farm owner and the farmer didn't know the poor litter had been poisoned by something in the garage. He fought to live through the pain of the poison. He lived through his ear being sliced off. And finally lived through a dog attack and only has one eye. 

Some how just having him snuggle close to me made me feel better and remind me I do have a lot in my life. Right now I may feel like crap and my money is scarce but Little Ricky has a lot less and he really doesn't care. If he can get through his hard life I can too.
