Yeah I know I missed a day!

I was all caught up in the hype, it just got too late to blog. I will turn 29 in a few days and have been thinking of my life, where I was and where I can go. Its hard to feel optimistic especially in these days and times. Its hard to stay positive while I work in a science field that is extremely disillusioning. Its hard to be 'Ms Sunshine' when there is no stability or security at home or at work.
However hard things are, which if you were living my life, you could be sprouting grey hairs and staying on anti-depressants, I am thankful for lots of things...............

• El hombre (for the sacrifice he made to come live with me, even though it meant we turned into a one income family).
• My parents (for everything)
• My sister (likewise)
• My extended family (for always being around)
• My friends
• My health
• My sanity
• My education
• My love of books (its a nice rock to crawl under)
• My awesome childhood

I wish I had everything ( I know I have a lot more than most people do). I wish I had it easy. I wish I didn't have to struggle so hard. Or wake up to a job that is frustrating and depressing. I wish I had more options (that just fell in my lap). I wish El Hombre could work. I wish my family lived around the corner. I wish I could win the lottery.

I know its a lot to wish for. And many people share the same kind of wishes and the same kind of struggles. And some are not so lucky to have many things they can be thankful for. And some are not lucky to see tomorrow. Or to see the sun rise and set again. So yes, I guess I do lead a charmed life after all.

And so HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
