I really thought that by the time I was 50 I'd have myself together. This life really is a journey, and I sometimes feel lost. I have the road map, gps, and destination, but I keep getting side tracked. It's like I see something shiny and forget what my goal is. Anyway....I just looked at my friend, Jenn's blog and she has inspired me to "keep on, keepin' on".
I hope I'm a joyful person, but I think I might be a whiner. I am so blessed but I want more - I want more time, more grandkids, more travel, more fabric, more, more, more! I had a real epiphany the other day when a friend reminded me that I'm lucky to have some time off during the summer. I was feeling sorry for myself because I didn't have the whole summer break off - I have to work six weeks of the break. She reminded me that I was lucky to have a job I love, great people to work with, and six weeks off.
So I'm trying to look at the glass half full again. I do love my life. And I'm so greatly blessed. Looking at the list of my favorite things is just the beginning of what I love and am blessed with. Could I have it any better? I don't think I need it to be better - life is rich beyond my wildest imagination if I just take the time to remember my blessings.
