Life is Good

Happiness is the feeling you're feeling when you want to keep feeling it. ~Author Unknown

This morning I woke up with an overwhelming feeling of peace, contentment, and appreciation for my life. My life is good! Things may not always be easy and every moment is not filled with utter glee....but I feel terrific....I am happy to be me!

I have supportive and loving parents who have graciously allowed me and my children to live in their home. They always stand beside me at times when I need them the most! I have a great family!

I have the best boy in the world! What would I do without him? He saved me by just "being!" He is my long time sidekick! When I need reinforcements....he is always there! Mack is my night in shining armor!

And then I have Mals, my modern day Punky Brewster, what a hoot! She lets me know I'm alive! But when the chips are down....she is there to lift my spirits! Along with her brother, she is the reason I do the things I do!

I have surrounded myself with people who lift me up, not push me down. I have amazing friends who laugh with me, cry with me, shop with me, love me for who I am! There is "Sunshine" all around me!

I have food, clothing, and shelter. I have my health-physical, mental, and emotional. I have a great job and work with strong, intelligent women. Most of all...I have peace of mind! I am content with my life, who I am, and where I am headed! What more could one ask for? Of course life is not perfect.....but if I catch myself complaining I step back and ask myself, "What are you complaining about? Life is Good!"
