Day 39

A funny thing happened on the way to bed.

I had this thought. As I sat in my room playing my playstation 2 video game system enjoying the Transformers game I rented it all started to come to me. I may not have security or a plan, but look at what is around me. I have transformer toys sitting on top of my clean dresser. My closet and dresser are full of clothes that I picked out. I am wearing earrings that I found online through my computer that my parents bought and let me take with me when I moved out. My house that I live in was 400k. I pay a cheap part of the mortgage on a house that has no problems with it whatsoever. Working washer and dryer that was given to us. We can cool or heat this house anytime we want. There is a top of the line basketball hoop in the backyard. We got a nice family dog that is very entertaining and loveable. Tonight I watched TV on a 50 HD screen and it was playing a channel from our comcast cable service who also provides us with our internet service. I drove around today in my mazda protege which is fully paid for. I am writing on this blog right now to tons of people that actually want to hear about what I have to say. I am up past midnight because I don't have to work on a Tuesday. I can't remember the last time I worked on a Tuesday. I have a nice oven that allowed me to bake some cookies that I got through the wonderful client I service on my weekend routes through Rancho Cordova. I played a basketball game with a bunch of people I really like hanging around with in basketball shoes that are brand new. On sale for 40 bucks how can I pass it up? I got to talk on my cell phone today with several friends and they all liked hearing from me and vice versa. Especially my friend in Arkansas who I have known for years now thanks to the modern age of instant messaging and emails. Tonight when I go to sleep I will lay on a bed that my Mom helped me to get. I can go on and on and on.

The point? if I really stop to look around and forget that I have 10 dollars in my pocket to last me till Friday here is the bottomline. It may not all be paid for and I may not have done all the buying for it all, but I am very lucky. I should treat everyday with the reverence and respect it deserves cause I have a chance to go about doing what I want to do and not what I have to do. it may not be completely what I want, but it ain't half bad either. raise a glass people. Tonight I got a shot of perspective.

Rabble Rock!
