I live a very utilitarian life. No, that is not a religion, it just means my life isn't all that exciting. The last vacation I went on was a 2 day camping trip a year and a half ago.
That's not to say my life is boring, okay maybe just a little. I hear of my friends going on these wonderful European vacations, or trips to the islands. That would be amazing. But my life doesn't go that way. So I look for ways to make my life a little more full.
What can I do to make my life more fun? Well if you've been following me at all you know I have a boatload of hobbies. I ride my bike, I read a ton of books, I write when I can, I cross stitch. I love to make homemade cards, and quilt. I know that doesn't even compare to jet setting across the Continent, but we do what we can.
The upside, and if you know me there is always an upside, I love my jobs. Okay I love one of my jobs and the other I don't mind. My life may not be all that exciting, but it's a good life. I have a home and a family. I have food on my table, and clothes on my back. I believe God gives us a life and expects us to live it to the fullest. When I was younger I was blessed to see many things and visit many places. I've spent a year and a half living and serving others in Ireland. I have spent time in South Florida and New Orleans visiting family. I've found myself in Southern California, and for that matter Northern California. I even went to Hawaii when I was 13. I have seen some of the world.
Everyone's life is important. Every way of life is important. Living a life wishing things were different is a waste of spirit. If your life is not what you want, do what you can to change it, pray for help, and hope for the best. A life without hope is a hard existence at best. Hope can bring you joy, peace and love.
So always look for the upside.
Until next time.
