June 03 ContentHi-
I went shopping today. I got 3 tops, 2 pairs of flip flops and a cell phone. I am not a shopper at all so today was a huge shopping day for me; especially the cell phone.
As I was driving home the sun was setting on the lush green fields of Southern Indiana giving the grass and the crops a beautiful glow. This sight and the wind in my hair made me realize that I don't need clothes or high-tech things to make me happy. Material things are not what define me. This thought made me realize all the more how much I truly appreciate God and my family and friends; THEY are who define who I am, not things. I measure happiness and succsess in my surrounding support system of my family and friends, not how much stuff I have. Everyone I know has taught me some sort of value and knowledge in life and that has taught me to be wise in a vast majority of areas in my life. I have so many people that love me and that has taught me to love them and others back. I realized today that I have a wonderful life right here where I am. I don't need fancy clothes or name brand shoes OR a mobile phone to have a good life. Not having these things has made me a better person and especially more patient and understanding.
The person of the day is anyone who has loved me. Thank you for loving me for who I am and for all the lessons you have taught me. Thank you so much!
Word of the day is excited. I'm so excited for what God is going to do in my life in the future, I can only imagine!
Love you all! Have a wonderful rest of the day and wear sunscreen, you'll burn!
