I don’t need much in my life, I don’t have to have the so called nicest car, or the biggest house, I don’t need an overflowing bank account, I don’t allow my financial issues to rob the joy out of my day, and I certainly don’t need to have “everything” in order to feel happy. I learned a long time ago to value the things money cannot buy, I appreciate the simple things that are in my life, I love the little laughter I get to experience throughout my day, I appreciate my friends, acquaintances, and my little family. I am grateful to be able to write and be a part of what inspires positive thoughts, most of all I am grateful of my twin, my health and my beautiful daughter. I have honesty in my soul, and am a loyal friend, I have my faith and courage to help me when it feels like it’s the end, I have compassion that runs deeply through every moment of my day, believe when I tell you this makes me beyond happy.

Each day hold so much beauty I am truly grateful to be alive, to be surrounded by love and beautiful people, it’s all I need to survive, but that’s just me.
