I love all the comments, on and offline, that this post is generating. It also seems to have hit a note with people. Sometimes I look back on my life and think about all the time I wasted and stress I felt over not having what I thought I should have. Lessons learned, courtesy of wisdom earned over the years. Thanks for stopping by, Lynn.

Yep, it’s an attitude. You’ve gotta love what you have. Personally, I love having 5 kids, driving a 10-year-old van that’s quirky with lots of miles, but it goes, and knowing that I have brothers and sisters around the country who would always be happy to see me if I showed up on their doorstep.

I love watching the Little League games my son plays, too–and some of those people with the house 10 times the size of mine and the newest SUVs are actually very nice people(and some of them aren’t, but that’s their loss). Not to say I don’t get stressed out, but when I take a second to step back and really look at things, I realize I’ve got it pretty good.

One would hope — and some sooner than others!

I agree — it’s an amazing story.

I’ve had the rare opportunity to live on both ends, so I know things don’t make you happy. I suppose everyone figures it out eventually … one way or another.

Tara hats off to you. Nothing delights me more that people who walk their talk, for nothing else is real. What we say versus what we do is the ultimate contradiction most people live in and happiness does not live there. The gift you gave your children of a life that offered them realistic experiences so they could get to know themselves, their strengths, their areas of challenge…what a gift. Would that more people have your courage of conviction. It’s a far more satisfying path.

I can understand that, Marilyn. It all comes down to perspective, and sometimes life throws enough curveballs for us to find it.

Terri,
I find that the older I get, the less I care about what other people have. Recently I’ve seen too much of people dying and being seriously ill. I truly enjoy the simpler things in life, though I agree with you re good wine, good books, and I love to travel.
