Being thankful for all I've got ;o)

Nov 21, 2007 12:07

It's ironic that people say to live today as it is your last because somedays fly by so fast. How can you experience all life's little moments when life itself is flying by?
Just this morning, while I was making myself pancakes, it dawned on me, what if everything up until is just a dream? What if I wake up tomorrow morning, eight years old, and have everything to live over again? What if my life is once again new; a blank slate? I wonder, would I make the same mistakes, the same choices?
It seems crazy, but fifteen years ago I was eight and dreamt about the day I could be on my own. Wow, I guess I've arrived at that point, and I still feel like I am eight years old and dreaming about tomorrow. Funny, life is kind of beginning all over again. Suddenly, or maybe it only seems that way, I am out on my own. Well, on my own, but not alone. I cannot believe how blessed I am. I have all I ever dreamed about, my own place, the start of an amazing profession, the man I plan on marrying, and a wonderful family (who are only a half an hour drive away).

I may be working over Thanksgiving, but hopefully I'll remember all the wonderful people and the life I have to be thankful for. I feel like the richest person in the world, and that's priceless!
