A Blessed Life

Today is an absolutely beautiful day in Alabama. I wish I was at the park instead of at work. I like this time of year when I can begin to bring out my sandals. I hate wearing socks and hose.

Today is my grandparent's wedding anniversary. As many of you know, my grandfather passed away last November. My thoughts and prayers are out to my grandmother today. I cannot imagine spending 50+ years with one man and then trying to bear things without him.

I was reminded today of how blessed my life is. I complain about silly things like wanting to lose weight or not having any vacation days built up yet with my job, but really I have no reason to complain at all. I have a roof over my head and an abundance of food. I have a closet full of clothes. I have a wonderful husband who loves and cares for me. I have loving parents who would give anything for me and a great relationship with my in-laws. I have a car - a RELIABLE car. I have books, DVDs, and CDs of all different types and flavors to keep me entertained until I die. I have no right to cry over being overweight or sulk because we can't take a week's vacation to go to the beach.
