blessed

sat and had dinner with my favorite people in the world.  listened to the kids laugh as they played monopoly. i'm sitting here in a chair eyes nearly dozing.  i am content.  i have need of nothing.  i have food to eat.  a beach to sit on.  i have a home to stay in.  i have people to love and be loved by.
i have learned this lesson thus far in my life....no matter what is going on, i can choose what to see, what to be and to be happy.  i AM happy.  truly.
i made it through to this time in my life.  i'm also proud.  not in an arrogant, selfish way...in a "didn't God do something amazing" way.
here i am.
still.
standing.
living.
breathing.
i have come so far this last year.
and have further to go.
life is a gift.
i want to use it.
so very tired.
been traveling.
so much nice beach time to have.
can't hardly wait.
day by day.
moment by moment.
but for now....i need some rest.  finally rest where i can simply sleep.  good thing.  it has been a long time coming.  i am blessed that it has!!
