Post Secret. I'm not sure how many of my readers read that blogsite too, but I find it sort of cathartic to do on Monday morning's while drinking my coffee. This morning I saw one that made me stop my scroll wheel. "My greatest desire is to love my life as I'm living it."
All I can say is wow.
I spend so much of my day griping, b*tching and moaning about one thing or another; how tired I am from work and school - HEY BUDDY - at least I have a job and I have the opportunity to go to school!; how disgusted I am with one aspect of my body or another - HEY BUDDY - you're healthy and you've got a great man who loves you no matter what!; how I wish I had or made more $$$ - HEY BUDDY - at least you have some money and make a decent living oh and yeah, you've got luxuries like a house and a car and more than one pair of shoes and clothes and food to eat on the daily and you can still afford to donate to charitable causes of your choice!
So yeah, all in all I guess my life is pretty grand. That is not to say that I will stop striving for better, but as the quote says "love my life as I'm living it." WOW!

Wow. That really strikes a chord with me as well. Doesn't it seem like we swing between the extremes of hyper-criticism only to force ourselves to pause to appreciate what we have and stop beating ourselves up? Really, if I were to look at our (you know who we are) entries for the last year or two I know that each of us has had a moment or moments of not being good enough, not reaching our dreams, not liking our bodies, not being what we at times feel we must be, or just plain griping (guilty as charged) and taking for granted what we do have. Is this just a growing pain of being 28-32 years of age? I need to seriously set myself a reminder to stop and appreciate what I have.
