My life rocks!

Do you ever have those moments when you're feeling kinda generally very icky (well quite frankly all around $hi##y...) and then you get reminded of how incredibly lucky you are... which then leads to you feeling like a complete jacka$$?


I had one of those moments today... not that I'm feeling remotely icky... but I got hit with the "You are one lucky ducky" smacks!


I woke up this morning with sore abs because I had a hardcore workout yesterday because I can...


At not one moment today did I feel hunger pangs...


I was able to walk to the metro without fear...


I am able to write this blog because I am literate... and because I have the freedom to write what I want when I want...


I walked into a warm home, with food in the fridge and clothes in my closet...


I am pretty sure that all this among other things makes me one the luckiest girls alive. 


I think one of the hardest things for us to do in our society is to not take anything for granted. I think that one of the best things we can do is to not take anything for granted. I can say to myself "I do my part, I donated money to so-and-so cause"... but until I stop taking things for granted and wasting things that people could only dream of... I'm not really making a difference am I?


I have an amazing life. I have a loving, caring, supportive and patient family. I have the best group of friends a girl can ask for (You know... the ones you would call should you ever kill someone and need help to dispose of the body... ya... those ones. Not that I'm planning on killing someone. Just a hypothetical situation). I have a great job. I've had the opportunities to travel to some fabulous places. I've loved and been loved. I have a full life. And I am grateful. For everyone. For everything. Sometimes I just need to be reminded. This is my reminder to me. 


Thank you to everyone I have crossed paths with. My encounter with you, small or large, has been a blessing. 


Dear Chrisy, 
Your life rocks. 
Love, 
Chrisy


I leave you with one my favorite quotes:


"Life is short. Break the rules. Forgive quickly. Kiss slowly. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that ever made you smile."
