Lot of truth in there. I'm wondering what the good news is :) On a similar note, I was driving home from work the other day and heard "I'm too sexy for my shirt." I wanted to call Right Said Fred and say: "Dude, same mind." Hang in there though seriously. I know I've had my "wtf?" moments looking at my life. They usually pass and then I feel damn lucky, as you seem to feel judging by your post. Moods are funny things, sometimes they pass and sometimes they linger. Damn those lingering ones! Great post.

I love that you know just how blessed you are... in spite of some challenges. To appreciate what you have before you is, I believe, one of the major components to a happy life. None of this secret, make your best life crap. Not that all that stuff is crap... but to embrace where you are. Also, the hint... the hint that is about what I hope it is... and I won't say in case I am wrong and will wait patiently to hear from you. And David Byrne! Every once in awhile I read his blog and that man is just too brainy for me... but I LOVE his music from that era. And that song in particular. You hit it out of the ballpark today!

I think it's so important to just stop every once in a while and just look around and be grateful for all we have. It's so easy to get caught up in the I want and if only game. Thanks for this post!

Second, I love it that you can see how blessed you truly are. In the scheme of things, financial woes come way down the list. Keep playing the song...and believing it! First, yeah, I love that song.

I started singing it to myself when the twins were born, and then when we moved to Africa. "How did I get here? This is not my beautiful house..." I wish they'd play that song on the Spanish buses... Happy Valentine's Day! You're right of course--you are totally blessed. And so am I, even though my version lately goes, "WHERE is my beautiful house?" I LOVE that song!
