Perspective

Last night I went out with some friends from law school. I was talking about how bad the economy is and how that means pretty much everyone last night had so far been unable to find employment. One of the friends who is from Bulgaria said you know we really don't have it that bad. She was listing stuff and then she said and you have citizenship.

This really hit me. I mean I never really think about the fact that I was born in the United States as compared to an Eastern European country. So, this shows that you should appreciate the little things in life.

I mean I'm glad to be born in this country. I love my country. I'm also glad to be born in this generation. I don't always love my generation. Not too long ago women couldn't even attend law school or have half the choices I have.

I'm glad when I'm hit with a little bit of perspective sometimes. I know I need it.

Things will get better and I really don't have it that bad.

So what if I'm 25 and married and have a law degree and have no idea how to find employment.

I'm alive,
I'm an American,
I'm a woman,
I'm in love,
I have a great family and a roof over my head.

Hell, I even have a couple of karats of diamonds on my left hand (not in one stone people [I just counted its 15 stones in total]) (that I will never give up no matter how poor I am - well if I ever have to choose between feeding my children and selling the ring, I'd sell the ring, but that is about it lol)

Maybe it could get better, but it could definitely be a lot worse!

I'm hopeful for my future! And thankful for my present and my past which got me here!

Its hard to go with the phrase "Let go and let God" but that is what I am doing now. He has a plan for me and no matter how much I try to make my own plan, He will go with His lol. I just have to sit back (well not totally, have to be proactive) and watch His plan unfold.
