Countdown...Live your life

Without any planning whatsoever I have managed to book my holiday for next week...right after a long weekend...it doesn't get better! Back to work after a nice relaxing time for a SHORT week and then flying to Gran Canaria after the England match on Saturday?! AWESOME!
So I'm officially on countdown. 4days of work and then I'm off. Sun, Sea, Sand, and San Miguel! Beautiful. I think I look at life as a series of goals, things to aim for and look towards. I find that this helps me through times when it seems that nothing is going my way. I would suggest this would be a good outlook on life. Here's what I try to do:
I think that EVERYTHING has good in it no matter how bad it seems. You just need to look hard enough.
People should be trusted until they prove un-trustworthy.
No matter how hard you think your life is always remember: there is ALWAYS someone worse off than you.
I'm not too sure why I tell you this. I have mentioned before my positive outlook on life and I pride myself by this. But, I'm human and sometimes for reasons I can't even fathom I'm in a bad place surrounded by hate, blame, and mis-trust. It is then that my secret weapon comes into play...My Family (and I'm not just talking about my ACTUAL family). There is a great many people in my life who know me very well. There are others (such as my immediate family and people I would call my chosen family) who know me better than I know myself. Whenever I am down they enter the fray and bring me home again and for that I thank every single one of you (if you are close enough you know who you are). The best saying I have heard and a saying I live by is:
Friends are the family you choose for yourself
I am lucky enough to have an amazing family in every way. Despite the distance between me and some of them they are there...like stars in a cloudy night; You might not see them but you know they're there.
