Do I wish I could be somewhere else, doing something different or even that my kid's health situations were different? I have to admit that I have occasional moments of "wishing", but I am a firm believer in living in the here and now. Wishing your life was different only creates unhappiness for today. I believe in putting my energy into making today worth living in. It's not that I don't dream, I do. I dream about the future in reality. Dreaming is constructive, it provides goals and events to look forward to, but envy and wishing life could be different is negative energy.
I do not focus on the things I cannot control. Nope, I can't be on an exotic island on vacation right now, I can't change that, but I can dream about how the things I can control today will make that possible in the future. Today, I am mommy first. When my kids are healthy, these dreams will become a reality and our kids will be a part of it all. So for now, I am happy focusing on the little things that make us happy day to day. These accomplishments will turn into those big dreams. One day at a time...
So many people take their health for granted. They don't even know how life would be without their health. If you happen to be one of those lucky souls, take a moment to be grateful and enjoy every moment you have your health.
