word and quote of the day

gratitude

do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things only hoped for.

good saturday morning!  sometimes i feel like a broken record, or as my kids would say i'm stuck on repeat; but, we have to be grateful everyday for the things we have-food, shelter, toys, computers and our friends, family and our health!  it's so easy to lose sight of what's important living in this world of excess.  I feel the hardest part is making my boys understand their feelings of entitlement will get them nowhere.  i do take into consideration they are only six and eight, but it has already started.  today we are giving away a large portion of their toys and i hope they will enjoy taking them to a daycare or church for the kids there to play with.  i hope everyone is having a nice weekend especially since the hogs won the cotton bowl. what fun. i'm grateful to wake up this morning and share with you,  to watch pokemon with my three babies, to be going to hot springs this afternoon to see my family.  thanks, mem
