Thankful

Do you ever stop and ask yourself how you could be so lucky? Do you ever take a moment to look around and take stock of the things you have? Do you have more than you need? Do you feel you don’t have enough?

I constantly catch myself failing to distinguish the difference between want and need. There are plenty of things I want, but often I have to take a step back and ask what value my life would gain from whatever it is I think I want.

Then I take a look around at the things I have and I realize the difference. I have a beautiful and loving wife, a fun-loving dog, a roof over my head, plenty of food and clean water, working cars, a wonderful job, and when you add in my spectacular family…….

I ask myself every day what I did to be so deserving. I truly don’t know the answer. All I know is that it is in these moments, I want to conduct myself in a manner that is worthy of all these blessings.
