The Real Things That Count

Had anyone asked me yesterday, last week or even last month if I was happy with my life, I would have answered without a second thought, “Yes, I am.” But it's not something I think about on a day to day basis, though there are times when I hear something sad or maybe even tragic that I think to myself how truly blessed I am. While putting together the section on “About Me” specifically thinking about the things in life that I love, it amazed me that I had to edit it a couple of times to shorten the list. If I had continued to write about all of the things in life that I love, it would be the size of a novel. My list is made up of family, friends and fond memories; the things in life that are normal day to day things, not the once in a lifetime maybe things or even the once every few years if your lucky things, but about the things in life that truly matter.
