What It Is
Sometimes you can get to know what something is by knowing what it is not.
As I'm appreciating the occupation of our new home, I've been thinking of the things we won't have to deal with anymore. As my siblings and parents often say, "First world problems."
- Live in close quarters (either in a trailer or apartment).
- Do laundry at the laundromat or hang clothes on a clothesline.
- Not have a place for things.
- Scrape windshields in frost or snow.
- Have limited choices of meals to make.
- Worry about limited data.
- Have less selection of apparel.
Maybe there is more, but those are the main things I've thought of. And they're really not that big of a deal. What I know is that I will not take anything I have for granted, and truly appreciate it.
What it is, is:
- A miracle.
- Awesome.
- Wonderful.
I'm not sure lucky and blessed belong in the same sentence, but I'm not sure how to separate the feeling. Thinking back on the past 10 years (our anniversary is in a couple of weeks), it's interesting and amazing how we got here. Yet we got here together. It's where we are supposed to be and where we're going to stay. I love this great, roller-coaster, incredible life!
"Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
life is but a dream."
