As I've said here before, I told my friend Charlie that he was my own personal George Bailey because my life (and I have since come to find out many others) wouldn't be what it is if I hadn't met him some 20+ years ago.
The other day though, I was walking back from the pool (where I was working on my base tan over spring break - haha!) when I had an epiphany - my life is pretty damn wonderful! And I have spent too many years not thinking that.
I have a family that loves me, great friends, a job, a place to live, good food to eat, and I'm healthy - just to name a few things. Where do I have room to complain? Granted, some things don't turn out the way I want them to. Some things have most definitely not gone the way I wanted, but really, what the heck do I have to complain about? Seriously!
So in the upcoming weeks, months, years - when things don't go my way, I'm going to remember just how wonderful I have it! I know that will put everything into perspective.
