Life Lessons are hard, but I am realizing they are here for a reason... to make us stronger people and do good work while we are here on earth. But, they really are hard. And its not just me. The more I pay attention to people around me and what they say, it is easy to see that EVERYONE has struggles. And really, I feel embarassed to even complain about mine because they seem like a cake walk compared to what other people go through. So... please forgive me for being so whiney about my petty problems.

In all reality I am lucky. I have a job. I have a family's undying support. I have three beautiful children. And most importantly I have this man, this man that absolutely makes my world turn. I don't say these things for Blog world approval, I am not a fakey who cares about what most people think. I write, because it's my thing and somehow it takes a load off my shoulders at the end of the day.

I have decided that I need to be content for the moment. My life is good, and rather than trying to spend so much time changing it... I need to enjoy it. Yes, I am a just a nursing assistant right now. No, I don't have a college degree. No, I don't have the life of pedicures and shopping while my man makes the money. But what's wrong with a middle class life after all? NOTHING! I'm content. This is what life is, and it is so important not to get caught up in wanting what others have, because as I have been told by these people many times in the last three months, "the grass aint always greener." These people that have money, that have degrees, that have the job just ahead of mine..... they want kids, they want a husband, they want families that care. Isn't that just how the cookie crumbles?? We all want what we don't have. I thought that statement just applied to hair texture and color, but I guess not.

Soooo, here I am. And I will strive to just be right here at this moment. No looking ahead. No envy. No bitterness. Just be.

I'll let you know how it goes.
