The Good Life...

I am feeling a lot of different emotions and I am not sure how to put them into words. All day I felt like writing something but didn't really have the time or access to a computer. I can write on my phone but its much harder and I have trouble getting my thoughts together trying to write so much with such a small key board.

I had a wonderful, productive, positive day and wanted to write a blog update and call it "The Good Life". A friend of mine used that as a video title and I saw a sticker on someones car today that said that and it inspired me. The Good Life. Think about that for a second. What does that mean? Obviously it's very different for each person, which I actually think is a fantastic thing. If we all wanted the exact same things, that 'thing' would be over worked, over used, trashed and crowded. Today for me included many of the things that are on my list of what is a -good life- to me. Sunshine, a breeze, rain, sand, ocean, beaches, weaving, meeting happy people, spending time with someone I love, home cooked breakfast in bed, iced coffee :), lunch with friends, making money, watching the sunset and more. I am so lucky. How many people get to experience so many wonderful things in one day! And I get a good majority of those EVERY day. Wow.

I am not complaining, but as I sit down here in front of my computer to write, I felt like I couldn't write a whole post on "The Good Life". I have a strange feeling around me. I wanted to write about insecurities, then trust, then lifestyles and then I even looked up the 7 deadly sins for some weird reason (also weird that I couldn't name them all off the top of my head) thinking that one of those would inspire me to write about one of those things.. None of them really did, yet all of them did as a whole. Good to think about each of those things and see how each one of them plays a role in my life. We all would like to think that none of them do, and definitely not all of them, but in all honesty, most of us are guilty of a few of those at least once a day.
Here they are.. anger, greed, sloth, pride, lust envy and gluttony.
Yikes. Anger. That's definitely one that comes up often in most people lives.

Ok. Here's what I want to say. To anyone reading this, including myself.
BE who you ARE.  Just like the 'good life' is different for each person, so is who we are and what we're about and how our life is. Realize that you are different than those around you. And it's ok. We don't want to be all alike. Boring! Rich, poor, big, small, tall, short, busy, lazy, etc etc etc. Live your life the way YOU want to live it and be happy doing it. Don't do anything to please other people, because they most likely aren't living their life to please you. Stand up for your beliefs, do what makes you happy, find a job you are passionate about, love, share, be kind.. and don't be jealous. You are the one that makes your life what it is, so if you aren't happy with something, then change it. You can have anything you want and do anything you want in this world. Find someone who loves you for exactly who you are, faults and all. Love them for who they are too. And find a way to share this short and never promised life together.

Find a way to live your Good Life... and live it just for you!
