While at the pool I had three separate conversations with strangers, and all three of them used the words "jealous" and/or "envious" when listening to my stories and learning about the life that I live. I get that a lot actually, but it's usually from those that I am envious of. Ya know, the ones with the perfect husband, beautiful babies, the white picket fence, the works... To me, these people are living the life, and I'd be ready and willing to switch places with them in a heartbeat.
I step back and examine this life of mine, and now, right at this second, I am envious of myself. Oh my goodness!!! Why do I get jealous of others? I have the freedom to do whatever it is that I want to do, and I am doing it. Of course I cannot wait until I find that perfect guy for me and have beautiful, perfect babies. Really, that is the only thing I've ever truly wanted for myself. But, until (or even if) that is the plan for my life, I will enjoy this life that God has blessed me with right now.
I have the best family, the best friends, and I meet the most amazing people each and every day. There's not a day that goes by that I don't have an interesting conversation. I laugh. I love. I have a great time...all the time! And, if this is the best it will ever get, then I am the happiest girl alive. Life is what you make it, so make it great. You only get one chance at life, so make it the best EVER!
If any of you are focusing on the negative right now, stop. Focus on all of the positives in your life, and chance are, you will be envious of yourself!!!!! :)
