What Matters ?

What matters? It's the same for some of us and different for others, but in the end it's what matters to each of us individually that counts.
These are my views of what matters and the truths I have come to hold onto.As our minds change so does what matters to us.Someone once told me,"If I don't mind, it doesn't matter".I tend to think that can go both ways,if it doesn't matter, I don't mind.It's always about perspective.
Today it matters to me that i'm struggling, struggling to keep a good attitude while my body hurts and my bank account is empty.It's 3:00am and sleep eludes me as I wonder how we're gonna make it through another tough time.Through the stress I hang on to gratitude.It's always there,sometimes in consolation sometimes just as a guilty reminder to not feel to sorry for myself.After all "it could be worse,right?"yeah, it could be better too.
So today in my struggles what matters is we have a roof over our head, wood to burn and food to eat. Sometimes we have to remind ourselves surviving is the ultimate in what matters, and as long as we're doing that everything else will likely turn around.
