I’m Rich!

I realised yesterday that after re-reading my blog entry, I had used the words ‘get me down’.  I pondered on this and almost took it out.

Yes, it does get to me because I feel somewhat a failure in not being able to organise everything as I want.  But no more.  If I think failure, I will be one.

I also took the time to think about something my husband often says which is ‘count your blessings’ and ‘we are rich’.

We count our blessings in the fact that as a family we are all healthy.  We have a roof over our heads.  We have supportive family and friends.  Our children are loved and feel loved. 

We are rich because of these things.  If you look at the world today, the suffering in many countries and the material things that many families don’t have, we have it all.

We are not a two car family any more, we have a small car, but it’s a car and it works and is paid for.  We don’t have much money coming into the house due to our current circumstances and if the truth be known we don’t even have enough money to cover our monthly bills.

We are almost at crunch time.  But despite all this, despite the fact that our credit cards will be maxed out soon, it is not important in the big scheme of things.  We need money to live, but not to love.

The reason I am sharing this is because my husband and I lay in bed last night talking until 4.00 am.  Yes, we will be shattered by this afternoon, but I feel that today is the start of moving our future to exactly where we want it to be.

So I will complete the ironing, I will tidy the house, I will get the website up and running.  My only concession to the first two is  -  can I add the word eventually?
