What's Really Important?

One thing "The Secret" teaches is that in order to get more you have to be grateful for what you already have. I must admit, I'm guilty of being blinded by the future. All I could see is what I want in my life, that I started to miss what I already have. No, I don't live in a mansion, but I'm also not living on the street. I may not be in a position, yet, to travel extensively with my family, but you'll be surprise how much fun could be had in the backyard. Add a barbque grill filled with meat and a football and you're talking about a day of laughter. I'm blessed that I didn't allow myself to lose too much of myself and my time in the future.

A few nights ago, I tore myself away from the computer and allowed myself to watch a movie with my husband. He was shocked because He's grown accustom to watching them alone while I sit and type on my novel or inspirational message. I'd forgotten how relaxing it feels to just be for a minute.

I do plan to continue working hard on building my career as a writer, but I won't let that consume me. I am a writer, but that doesn't define who I am. I am a child of God, a wife, a mother, and an author and it's time I put those things in order and prioritize them. I'm sure I'll find that everything will still fall into place.
