It is so easy to want what we don't have. Whether it be talents or looks or material things.
In the kind of business that I am in, I am constantly seeing things new and improved. I am exposed to furnishings I would love to have but are out of my touch, people with so much talent it makes me wonder if I have any business doing what I do, and living where I do, here in Southern California, I am surrounded by beautiful people, beautiful cars and gorgeous homes. I live in a material world and it is sometimes hard to feel content.

And yet the truth is, I have so much. I am blessed and I know it. I am reminded this week that I live where it is easy to take clean drinking water for granted. That is not true so for many. I want to remember what I do have ... not what I don't.

I love that--and it is so so true. Thank you for posting.
So, so very true. Thank you, Sherri!
absolutely!
My favorite quote from reading the little house on the prairie books (The Long Winter) was; "Never complain about what you have" This was said to Laura by her mother when she didn't want to eat one more potato; her mother knew that the potatoes were running out and there was no more food.
