Wishing

I've been doing a lot of wishing lately...

Wishing I had a house, with a garage, and my own washer/dryer. Wishing I had more income and fewer expenses. Wishing my family were close by.

But then I forced myself to focus instead on all the blessings I enjoy now that I didn't just a little while ago...

An amazing husband. A baby on the way. An on-site laundry facility (no more laundromat, woohoo!). A dependable car. Zero debt (okay, aside from my college loan). Tons of great friends and mentors in close proximity. Even a hot shower and running water are luxuries I used to go without.

I didn't change my circumstances, but I sure changed my outlook and mood.

"Be careful what you think, because your thoughts run your life."
-Proverbs 4:23 (NCV)
