When I want to write but I don't know what to write, I'm going to turn to a writing prompt. Sometimes it just feels good to write. Today's prompt is:
"I'm Happy Today Because..."
I'm happy today because I have everything I need. My birthday is tomorrow, and I'll be 28 years old. When I was a child, I had a picture in my head of what my life would be like at each age. To be honest, everything after 25 was pretty much the same and 30 was just plain old (gah! yeah right!). I have a wonderful, brilliant, caring husband, two children who are the light of my life, parents and in-laws who are still married, a house, two cars, and a job. As easy as it is to complain, what in the world do I have to complain about? I think of a friend of mine who recently lost her only son in a car accident. He survived being in the army (green beret no less) to come home for less than a year, fall asleep while driving, and be killed. As I talked to her today she told me that nothing else really matters to her right now and she doesn't think it ever will. I can NOT imagine the pain she's feeling and what she's going through. So even on my worst days, I'm happy because I have everything I need. My kids and husband are alive and well and I couldn't ask for anything more.
