I complain a lot. I guess I have to have something to complain about sometimes. But I sat and thought today and my complaints are little compared to the good in my life right now.
My children and I have a place to sleep. It's not ideal, but it exists.
We have food and when we don't eat it's really our own fault. You know, looking in the cabinets and fridge and not wanting what's there is very different from something not being there.
We have a family support system. We are far from my blood family but have a chosen family here that helps where and when they can. That is such a blessing!!
Things are far from perfect and we can always strive to improve on what we have, but I feel very rich at the moment for what I do have. Not money, that would definitely be helpful, but what we have is enough. I'm actually feeling content. It's been a long time since I had this calm. Especially with it being the holidays. I always feel antsy during the holidays since my mom's passing, yet I'm very calm right now and almost looking forward to Christmas celebrations. I want to work toward visiting my brothers, though.
Anyway, this was just a short update. Stay safe and I hope that this finds anyone who reads it well. Or gives them some hope.
