If we're all honest with ourselves, at some stage in our lives there is someone or a group of someones who we look up to or admire. We wish we had their home, their friends, their clothes or their money. Perhaps even their lives.
When I was younger I wished to be more like A, or act more like B, perhaps look like C. A few weeks ago, I listened to someone's struggle with this very issue and their lack of peace with their life.
And as I was driving this morning to a new playgroup, I thought about the conversation again. How I wished there was more money to go around, how I wished we could finish our renovations, or even have a CD player in my car.
And when I looked in my rear vision mirror at my two boys smiling back at me in their little bear beanies, it was then that I realised that I have everything I could possibly want.
And that is a wonderful place to be.
Do you wish for somebody else's life? Or are you completely satisfied with your own?
Thanks for sharing Kym, this is something I really need to remind myself of regularly. My life is great, and I don't need to try and be someone else.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many people would want your figure and beautiful hair! Sometimes it's hard to be grateful for what you have. I'm happy that you realized that you have 2 gorgeous boys and nothing can be better than that.
ReplyDeleteWell said! What a lovely post, Kymmie. How I wish I had the wisdom of knowing this when I was that younger envious person. If only!!!
ReplyDeleteHow great is Pink Fibro's linky - I am loving checking out some of the 'best ofs' from my fave blogs... we forget to go back, don't we!?) x
Beautiful post Kymmie. There's no better place to be that where you are. It's so important to remember that sometimes. Am so glad you linked up - and commented. Never be shy to comment at the Fibro - all thoughts, views, ideas and people welcome. Look forward to seeing you again soon.
ReplyDeleteA lovely thought, Kymmie. I just found you through Allison. How easy it is to get caught up in life's craziness and forget that what we value most is right under our nose. J x
ReplyDeleteLove this post. I spent every day of my 20's wishing I could be somebody else or be somewhere else. Every day of my 30's, I've wished for nothing more than exactly what I have. x
