Sometimes I get caught up in what is missing in my life....the money I wish I had, the health I wish I had, the car I wish I had....the list can be endless. But sometimes I am reminded of what I do have and how so very blessed I am.
I admit that sometimes I take my blessings for granted. I am not always thankful for what I have. I always wish for more.But them something snaps my head and I see someone who is struggling in an area where I am blessed.
It seems so much easier to look at what you don't have...to be angry or sad and want more. But we need to take more time looking at all the wonderful things we do have.
My three greatest blessings....jumping on the beach, having the time of their lives....why...just because they are themselves. They are kooky, they are funny, sometimes difficult, sometimes a little high strung...or way too complacent. There are struggles with each one of them at times. But as I watch them grow, watch who they are becoming, watch the things that they are passionate about and the relationships we have....I am so very thankful for my 3 most beautiful blessings and realize how very blessed I am.
"You can add up your blessings or add up your troubles. Either way, you'll find you have an abundance."
