I want all there is!

It's obvious to me that I often get wrapped up in the things I'm not doing with my life.  Today I had big plans of going on a specific errand and when it didn't work out, i was really bummed.  But then upon reading a friend's facebook status...I realized, I should be thankful for what I have done.  What I have accomplished.  Yes, it applies to my day today, but really to my life in general.  

I shall not count the calories on my thighs, but the calories I'm burning.   

I shall not count the number of times I say no to my toddler, but the number of times she obeys.

I shall not count the minutes that my husband is late coming home from work, but the number of hours we spend together.  

I shall not count the accidents my puppy has, but the times when she "makes it".  

I shall not count the errands I didn't get to, but the errands I did.  

I shall not count the things I want, but the things I have.  

Every now and again I have to give myself a reality check.  I am blessed and the thought that I would dare argue with anyone who says the same is quite frankly appalling.  I often wonder at my audacity.  I go to God with my cries and fears over things that are quite petty and often God reminds me what is really important in this life of ours.  It's the giggles, the smiles, the moments of snuggling on the couch, the warm embrace of a loving husband, the life I've always wanted.
