Everyday life.

No. I'm not famous. I'm not beautiful. I'm not a fashion Diva with money to spend. I'm a wife, mother, grandmother. I am loving this life and I am so glad that I don't have to live in a big city and deal wth all the commotion. I am extremely happy that I can walk outside and sit under my tree, in my sweats or pjs if I want to. I can listen to the birds or walk around the town and see people I know and love to be with.
I just got back from my granddaughters state track meet and I have been reflecting on life and what different people want out of it. I decided that I am just fine where I am. I don't need fancy anythings to make me happy. It is the times spent with family and friends that make it worth it. If I was busy trying to climb the social or professional ladder, I wouldn't have time to do the simple things in life. I guess that is why I am how I am. I like Simple. I like slow moving. I like getting involved with whatever the kids are interested in at the time. I don't need exotic vacations, expensive jewels, top line clothing. Give me jeans and a tee, I'm fine with that.
I'm glad there are all types of people out there. That is what makes the world go round. I say, if you want the fast life, go for it. Just let me be me and I will enjoy life the way I know it and want it to be.
Our home, Our town, Our State.... It's all I ever wanted in this life. Security and a loving family. I have that. I'm happy.

You hit the nail right on the head.
Simple abundance, I'll take it any day.
