Current Ramble

I have been sitting here for the last 30 minutes thinking about how truly blessed Brian and I really are. I have recently been in touch, via a new college website, with lots of people that I went to school with. I have been reading their stories about miscarriages, divorce, adoption, death, cancer, and other serious conditions and I feel selfishly releaved. I think of where Brian and I have been in the last five years and where we could be and I feel so fortunate. My father is still alive, despite have a pacemaker put in and spending much time in the hospital. I have no cancer in my body, despite the original diagnosis. We have a healthy, beautiful little boy, the joy of my life. Our marriage is thriving, thanks to several years of counseling and God's grace over us. We have a roof over our heads and my belly is full. I complain about so many things every day. My back hurts, I'm overweight, I can't go shopping or get a pedicure, I am lonely, I miss my family and friends, Luke is so heavy...Blah, Blah, Blah...It's ridiculous to even me and it's my complaining. I always say that I am going to do it less but never seem to. I come from a long line of chronic complainers. What a sorry excuse. I just need to learn how to really put things in perspective. I am a very lucky gal and I will make that my new mantra!!
