Keep This Vibe April 1, 2008

I have been motivated lately to be a positive change…one that I envy in others.  I have a terrific life.  I want to remember that every day.

I have a husband who adores me and would give his soul to save mine.  I have children that cry when I leave them and come to me to kiss their boo boos.  I have family who are tight, strong, and unconditional.  I have a beautiful roof over my head.  I have a luxurious bed to rest my head on.  I have a safe and comfortable vehicle that my children and I enjoy daily without a care.

I have a church family for the first time.  I have friends that I can call at 11pm because I am in need.  I have people to laugh with, people to cry with.  I have great health.  My family is in great health.  I am not in need.  I can afford to buy my family what they need.  I can afford to give to others.

I have so much.  I tend to be a negative person.  I never knew how hard real life was but I am here and I am going to conquer it.  I will not be beaten down.  I can do this.  I am young, time is on my side.  (Next time I am down…remind me to re-read this!)

In the end, I am grateful.
