Life Is Good
It’s time to take a moment and recognize/enjoy the good things at the present moment. This is something I’m learning to do more often. It’s so easy to wish your life away thinking “When……then I’ll be happy - or - get to that - or - take a moment.” The time to live, remember and enjoy is now. Tomorrow never comes because there’s always another tomorrow to procrastinate to. Experience has shown me that no matter how bad today seems for whatever reason, years later I’ll look back and wish I’d appreciated how good it was or seized the moment to do something with my kids. So today I’m enjoying:
Beautiful flowers from my wonderful hubby.
My poem being published - and being the FIRST one in the book!
Watching my son enjoy Zathura for the thousandth time and baking him cookies.
And last but not least, LOVING the fact that my sink is finally being installed.
Plus, tonight is The Office and the final showdown on American Idol includes my two favorites. My floors are clean and I still have time to blog. Life is good.

It’s those little things we do not appreciate at the time but end up being just what we
needed.
There are even things to gain from having a storm in your life. We just don’t realize it at
the time.
Words spoken by one who must know.
Thanks for taking time to share them.

There’s nothing better than taking the time to enjoy life, is there? I know we as people get caught up in so many negatives that sometimes…even if there’s only one positive thing, it’s good to wrap our brains around it for a while.
So true. Negatives scream and positives whisper so you have to be listening to catch them sometimes.

Good attitude. I think most of us are guilty when it comes to wishing our life away. Oh, congrats on the poem!
Thanks! It’s nice to feel others relate to many of our common daily struggles.
