I may not…..

All of you who were so happy I was blogging again, may regret it!

These are the things that go through my head at random moments.

This morning it was “Gratitude”

I may not be my “ideal” weight,

but my body plugs along even as poorly as I treat it.

I may not live in my 4000sq. ft  dream house, complete with real hardwood floors and restaurant quality kitchen,

but my house is warm and “just right” for all of us, and has also “grown” just enough when family needed a place to stay as well.

I may not have my dream kitchen,

but my refrigerator and pantry are full, and I bake and feed my family quite well every day.

I may not drive a Lexus, BMW, or Mustang,

but my Kia is awesome, runs well and I can afford “new” every few years.

My kids may not be perfect, straight A, first string playing, instrument playing, picture perfect kids,

but they are loving, creative, imaginative, giving creatures who still like to hang out at home.

My lawn may not be manicured, and pristine,

but I love to dig in the dirt and the garden help is pretty sexy.

I may not have a granite counter topped outdoor kitchen,, timber tek deck, and custom flagstone patio,

but our deck and patio were built board by board, and stone by stone by our own hands, and is cozy and makes me happy.

I am not a super star million dollar making athlete or movie star,

but I love my job and make a difference in people’s lives every day.

 

I may not be able to change or save the world,

but I can make a difference to someone every day in some way.
