Is it fair?
I've held off on posting my feelings on this particular subject because I didn't want to be seen as gloating or self-righteous, but I can't hold it in anymore.
My whole life (while it has had some bright spots) has been mostly about trying to make the most of a bad situation... A job I didn't like, a location that was less then fabulous, a relationship that was going nowhere. Since I married Tim, almost everything in my life improved immensely. I mean, he changed my life in a radical way that turned me around on almost every level.
So, here I am... Living the life I've always wanted. Nothing too extravagant... a nice apartment in a great neighborhood, wonderful places to ride my bike, terrific company in the form of my husband and friends... I feel like I'm learning more every day about the world, and I'm even going to get to go to Paris in the Spring. Working from home... busy enough to keep me entertained, but not so swamped I'm losing my mind. Cooking wonderful dinners, enjoying my kitties....
I don't want to be struck by lightening for saying this, but DAMN, my life is GRAND. I am so grateful for everything! I swear this post sounds like I'm high or something... hahahaha.... It's just a gorgeous fall day, and we had a terrific ride to the farmer's market to pick up from produce for dinner and I'm just overwhelmed with appreciation for this time and space that I find myself.
That's all for now.... Hope you're all having a lovely weekend.

Your life should make you happy. There's nothing wrong with that. I often have similar feelings. Why do I get such a great life when so many other people in the world have lives full of pain, poverty, and other problems. But, my feeling is that if you've been lucky enough or worked hard enough to get a life that brings you happines, by all means enjoy it. It would be such a waste to have so much and not take advantage of it and have some fun.
this post makes me happy. good for you, Erin.
