In all honesty, lately I've been struggling with being content. It's nothing new, I've always found that to be a challenging aspect in my life. Am I the only one? Part of me thinks it plain human nature to always want something more, something different. For me, it's been looking for a new/bigger house. There are so many great deals out there, but on the flip side, it's a lousy time to sell. Hopefully I'm not bothering Jeff too much with my insistent house searching and news updates about open lots. But, I probably am. Jeff is one of the most content people I've ever met!
Sometimes I think, "Everything would be easier if I hadn't wasted my time away in college doing something that didn't get me anywhere." Yes, Mom and Dad, you were right! If only I'd used my smarts and became a nurse, I could make those bucks and put us in a newer and bigger house. But I'm starting to realize it's not worth the regret. I really do have everything I could ever need. (Well, ok... a horse would be nice...but not necessary ;) I live a blessed life; full of health, love, and comfort.
Times are tough these days, and financial struggles hit close to home for me and my family. My discontent is difficult some days, but I'm really trying to push my way through and put myself in another person's shoes. There are people out there struggling to eat, pay their bills, and keep their job. That's why I can't even believe I have the right to feel this way. So, I apologize.
