Somebody commented on my instagram the other day “I want ur life” (it was attached to the above photo). I was a bit taken aback and kinda laughed – why would someone want my life?  Not that it’s a bad life, quite the opposite…but I was just..I don’t know, surprised. And then, of course, me being me, I analyzed why I was so taken off-guard by that simple comment. Why does it always take a informal comment like that to be grateful for something? Gratitude seems to allude people these days – what with political turmoil, terrorist attacks and weather to complain about.

In the midst of the complaint, we never do see the true beauty of the great.

So thank you, Stephanie – I’m sure you do not want my life (and from your insta-life, you seem to be doing quite well yourself!) – but thank you for reminding me how great mine truly is.

If you like, please share!
