Life is SO good but it hasn’t always been that way. The other day I was thinking about what it is that makes life good. Is it a big house? Having a garage? A yard for my kids to play in? Designer clothes? Is it fancy cars, toys or cash?
How interesting that I don’t have any of those things right now…but I’m HAPPY!!! We’ve all heard how happiness has to come from the inside. I used to have a saying in my kitchen that said, “Joy is not found in THINGS, it is in US.” How ironic that I finally have learned that….after I got rid of that sign in my kitchen. LOL.

| So grateful that...LIFE IS GOOD! |
You may wonder why life is good for me then without any of the things I mentioned above. Let me tell you! I have a little apartment that is all mine. Each of my children have a bed and their own space!
Kassidy won’t go to bed without ME tucking her in. She hugs me and tells me she loves me DAILY!
Dillan loves to tell me what he’s learning at school. Did you know bats use echolocation to know where they are in caves?
Kyle asks for me to snuggle him while he’s watching TV. Did you know that the more Spongebob you watch the dumber you actually get?
Grayson toddles around the house yelling MOM….MOM…MOM. It gets annoying but still…LIFE IS GOOD!
Food has also become yummy again…that definitely makes life good! Makes the jeans a little tighter also but hey, we can’t have it all. On the top of that list is mint oreos, Italian ice and pizza. Yummmm. J
Life is good because I’ve almost finished three semesters of school. I still have most of my sanity and my kids are all still alive and even like me.
Life is good because after YEARS of retarded phones that have been dropped on the ground and in toilets I FINALLY have a smartphone. It’s pink and tells me where to go so I don’t get lost. Now THAT’S good!
Life is good because it’s full of LOVE! I have found the male version of myself and THAT ladies and gentlemen is AMAZING!
I have a great supportive family and more friends than I can count. Don’t get me wrong, struggles are at every turn but now the happiness is INSIDE of me. It’s here to stay and I’m so excited for my future!
What makes YOUR life good?
I love your blog, it's interesting to read your take on life which is opposite of mine. I'm not married nor do I want to be soon and I don't have kids nor do I want them anytime soon either. A nice cup of coffee, good weather, new clothes that's when my life is good.
ReplyDeleteawwwww This article is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteLife is good, sometimes its nice to sit back and look at your life and take note of all the good things life gives us.
ReplyDeleteDamn my post didn't post!!! Ok SO lets see if I can remember what I said...I LOVE YOUR BLOG! You have such a positive outlook on life which is so refreshing. I hope you'll keep posting long after this class is done because I would love to keep reading about your many adventures.
ReplyDeletethank you for the reminder about happiness. sometimes it is easy to forget.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree! Sometimes it is easier said than done, but life is life and we gotta make the best of it!
ReplyDeleteYou asked what makes MY life good... Well I would say days I get home and my wife is there and we just do NOTHING! Hang out, watch a movie, cuddle, just be lazy bums but we are together! Laughing is another thing. Laugh at life. Crap happens, so get over it, make a joke out of the problems. Laughing helps me enjoy life much much more. Those are just a couple of things that make my life so good.
