"Life is Good....I'm Blessed"

Even though I already know, but somedays I have to remind myself on how blessed I am. Today is one of those days. I woke up this morning and although I was running late, I have to first thank God for waking me up this morning and to thank him for blessing me with a job that I can come in late without having someone breathing down my back. I sit back sometimes in awe of all the things that I've overcome and all the things that I've accomplished and all the things that I know that are gonna follow. I'm 34 years old and I'm blessed to be in great health & shape, not on drugs, not an alcoholic and just have myself together. Life wasn't painted to be a pretty picture for me, a child raised by a struggling single mother who raised my sister & I in public housing. People always told her that we would be statistics because she had us so young, but she did the best she could and today is one of those days that I can honestly see that all her hard work has paid off. Although I never really felt the struggle growing up(with the exception of not having the latest clothes as soon as they came out & some other lil things)I know that my mom put in work to make sure that my sister & I would grow up to be everything she wanted to be & more. So today, I'm definately feeling the blessings and everything that I have going on right now is confirmation that "Life is Good". I'm a homeowner, I have a great job, I'm financially comfortable, I have a great love life, I have a wonderful "sistacircle" of friends, I have family who love & adore me and most of all, I have God in my life and he's the one that is responsible for all my blessings. So, today....is one of those days that I can truly say that I'm blessed....
