And in amongst all this
I have EVERYthing I need - kids to love, a husband that is a-mazing, a roof over our head (albeit a rented one), a crazy dog, a loving family, enough money to pay the bills and put food on the table, new friendships, friends from home that come visit or are thought of daily regardless of the distance.
I have nothing 'flashy' but have never been materialistic - just need to remind myself of this as I pull on my 'not-the-latest-fashion' clothes and shoes. Things do not matter, they could be gone in a moment (or in an earthquake...) and I really would not care - except if I lost all my clothes because that would be a terrible sight for all!!
My most special treasures are those that can walk up and give me a hug and say I Love You.

These stories/blogs/news reports make me linger a little longer in my children's cuddles - til they squirm and beg to be let go, and tell my husband how much I love him.
I should be grateful everyday, instead of being a spoilt brat!
Anyways, I am LUCKY and very very GRATEFUL.

I have been a spoilt brat lately too, just not satisfied with things, but really I have ALL I need. Great post Lyns! Thanks.
P.s. I tagged you to do some fun questions about yourself, see my blog. No pressure though, totally optional
awesome post Lyns and a great reminder that we all need from time to time.
I'm pretty satisfied, now that I have my iphone ;) ;)
kidding of course!!
but seriously

Totally get you on this post. It is kinda awful that we learn to appreciate things when we see others in such awful circumstances. The whole contentment thingiee is a big learning curve journey for me..still plodding along
Great post Lyns and good reminder thanks xxx
love that you are feeling lucky and grateful
those are good things to feel
loved this post Lyns, so true
it's not about the flash sister, it is so about the love...
and you have an abundance of that...even if they wake you up in the middle of the night!!! lol
love and light
It's so easy to get caught up in your own life (especially as a mother!) and forget to stop and realize just how good we have it aye. Nice post.
Ditto, what they said ;o)
