Look at your haves

I tend to think I live a rather normal life” I work, I go home, I sleep, I hang out with my friends.  To me that seems to be normal, but it is days like today that I realize how abnormal my life is and how lucky I am to have the life I have.  Yesterday one of my best friends moved, and not just to a new house or across town, but to another continent.  I have had such wonderful support from people who I work with and my friends and family.  It’s been great to know that I have so many wonderful people around me.

This morning I work up at 11:15 that may be the latest I have gotten out of bed in years, but it was wonderful to wake up this morning by having my dog jump on me than crawl under the blankets and cuddle.  Again, to me this is normal.  I then ran some errands and ended up hanging out with my little brother and his friend.  Now my brother is in college and how many 19 year old boys want to hang out with their big sister, let alone let her come with when he is with his friends.  On top of the invitation to hang out with my brother, he bought me lunch.  This isn’t abnormal in my life. I have a wonderful family who supports me and likes to hang out with me…

I want you all to take a look at your life and realize how lucky you are.  I know that we all compare ourselves to others and look at what we don’t have instead of what we do.  I have an awesome family, and I know people who would kill to have the relationship with their families be like the one I have with mine.   It is wonderful and I am so thankful to have them.  What do you have in your life that you are not recognizing to be as amazing as it really is?

See how much of this you can relate to.  I know that this week wasn’t the most awesome week in the world, but I had some wonderful experiences and I am still a very lucky person to able to live the life I have.  I dare you to think outside the box and look and all the “haves” in your life, not the “have nots.”

You have it all & Confidence,

Lyndsay
