Dreams, reality and being thankful 11.24.2011

I know it's so cliche to blog about being thankful on Thanksgiving but this year, like the few years before, have been rough on me so I need this for my soul.

Somehow, making my dreams and reality mesh into one seems like the best thing to keep me sane as well as pushing forward, so here goes:

1.  Dream house?  Nope.  Home to keep me and my family safe?  Yep.....thankful.
2.  Dream job?  Nope.  Job to pay for things I need?  Yep....thankful.
3.  Dream car?  Not even close.  Car that's paid for, runs well and is in decent shape?  Yep....thankful.
4.  Dream relationship?  Nope...probably doesn't exist.  A relationship that allows me to not need to sleep with 1 eye open?  Yep....thankful.
5.  Dream body?  Nahhhhh... A body that's in fairly good health?  Yep...thankful.

Basically, I need to be thankful for all of the things that I do have and realize that most of the things I do not have are merely wants and not needs.  That in itself is a blessing.
