...........
Sometimes I have these moments where I just have to stop and think about how great life is.
It's in the moments like this....you know, the moments where you're sitting on the couch watching a re-run of Gray's Anatomy and your husband is sitting next to you reading a book and your house is actually clean enough where you can enjoy it that you just have to sit back, breathe in deep, and thank God for a great life.
I'm sure in the worldly standards there's a whole lot of people a whole lot better off than I am....even more there's also a whole lot of people worse off than I am, but I can't help but think that I have a really great life.
I have wonderful husband that really loves me and is pretty much the nicest guy in the whole world, we may be broke by society's standards, but really we never go without so I feel pretty rich, we have some of the greatest friends ever that we know will always be there for us no matter what, and last but certainly not least we have a really cute dog. That's gotta count for something right?
I'm realizing as the years pass by the the simple life really isnt' all that bad, in fact I kind of actually like it.
I'm learning to slow down and not focus so much on the future that I let today pass me by, and I'm learning to actually stop and smell the coffee rather than just guzzle it down.
Life is meant to be lived to the fullest, but it's really hard to do that with this busy culture that we live in.
I'm not one to make New Years resolutions, but if there's one thing that I want to work on this year it's just to learn to relax and enjoy life. It sometimes feels like life is passing me by so quickly that I don't even have time to take it all in, this year I want to learn to slow down. If that means not committing to so much, learning to say no, or even simply not keeping my schedule so busy with "fun" stuff that I miss out on plain good ol' relaxing with a good cup of coffee and my favorite magazine, (which happens to be "Real Simple" ironically) than so be it!
Life is short and I want to learn to savor every minute of it!
