People's Revolution

Sometimes I wonder if my parent's, or grandparent's had thoughts of the world ending like I often (as much as I would like to say it's not often, it's pretty often) do. And, I say this not out of, like, depression or something, but rather from the aspect of the world has never been THIS crazy, right?

I realize that the economy is horrid, um, Obama maybe wants to pretend to be Democratic, but really probably is a Socialist. I am aware that sometimes our lives aren't all we have hoped, and sometimes things we don't understand happen. And, like my dad has always said: "Life's not fair" - thanks for that by the way. :)

But, as cynical as it is, it's true. Life is not fair. So we make of it what we can, right? Right. And we count our blessings, right? Right.

I think the grass is always greener on the other side of the hill (yes, I am trying to use as many cliche's as possible, thank you very much.) so make the best of it I say.

Which is sometimes really hard to do.

I had lunch with my oldest (longest) friend yesterday. She is a beautiful mommy to two beautiful boys. She makes me happy. She reminds me of how when we were kids we would get bent out of shape over some dumb boy that didn't notice us, or some embarrassing- yet insignificant thing happened. But we were happy kids. And, after having lunch, I realized, we are happy adults. And that is a blessing.

Our lives may be slightly different than what we had imagined, some things better, somethings not as great. But, we are happy. I am thankful for that. I think we have both learned equally well that happiness is in the smaller things. Your adorable little boy laughing the sweetest laugh. Lazy evenings spent with your hubby and puppy. The rewards, though sometimes really small, that all your hard work brings.

Food is here.

I pray you will be happy.
