I love reading other people's blogs, but I have to question why it is never good enough? We are always trying to improve on ourselves, our lives, our homes, our kids, our spouse, our schools, our town, our community, our churchs, our gardens,...and the list just goes on. Why are we so dissatisfied with our lives? Why can't we just be...normal, average, ok, good, happy, satisfied? Do the dishes need to be done after every meal? What about the laundry? Does it matter if it doesn't get put away right after it's arrival from the dryer? What will happen if you happen to let your children eat ice cream for lunch...gasp! I did that just this week, and let me tell you, my kids loved it, and so did I. I didn't have to cook or put anything together, this was totally self serve. Now, I don't suggest you do that every day, but for one day, it sure is a treat!
My goal, is to be happy with what I have. To appreciate my struggling garden. It represents my life at this time. To not take things personally, when people say stupid things. It doesn't make me look bad, it looks very poorly on them! To appreciate my beautiful home, that is not quite where I want it to be, but is getting there, slowly. To appreciate my children, who are learning to control their emotions. To appreciate public school, that lets the kiddos struggle with dealing with peers. They have to learn sometime. And also, that allows my kiddos to learn about the three R's, and all the extras. We do live in a great time! To appreciate my spouse and all the work he does for us, so that I can appreciate all my things....
My life is good enough! It may not be the high rollin' life style some aspire to, but let's face it, all them glittering lights give me a headache. I have a home, a family, people who love me, and that is good enough! :)
