Lucky
It’s at times like tonight that I remember how lucky I really am. When everything is silent and the day has finally calmed into the night, I have space to think.
I think how lucky I am that I have a great family despite their quirky-ness and insanity! I have wonderful parents and my darling sister who is far away and whom I miss very much indeed.
I have life-long friends whose advice I often seek and whose troubles I am always willing to hear. I have people in my life who do not judge me but will tell me the truth.
There is an amazing man at my side, to whom I am truly thankful for so many things. He irritates the hell out of me sometimes but I love him so much and am so lucky that he stood by me through all the strife, no-one else could have done that.
My health seems to be improving with no serious upsets of late and I’m progressing well with counselling despite how difficult it is sometimes.
Finally, I have a job which pays the bills for the roof over my head.
There are people with absolutely none of the above. I count myself lucky, very lucky indeed.
Lucky indeed we both are! Here I am on 1000s of miles away in Tenerife reading your blog, thinking exactly the same thing!! The last year seems to have brought many changes to my life, and some quite major ones, however, each time one comes along, it all seems for the better
In the last 6 months, I have gone from being totally unemployed to studying again and totally changing my career line to actualy working with what I love doing for the first time in my life and at the same time I have truely found a partner who stands by me at every moment and who treats me exactly the way I deserve and loves me dearly! I have my health, I have a beautiful home and a fantastic housemate and friend in one, WHAT MORE CAN I ASK FOR??? Well I can only ask for the same feeling of fullfillment and happiness for all my loved ones, especially for my family, who, as my sister has underlined in this last post, is far from me as I chose to fly far from the nest 5 years ago to achieve the happiness I have today. Life is wonderful and the planet is beautiful place to live in, take care of yourself, your loved ones and live for the day as life is too short to have regrets…
