Do you ever look at a person and think they have it all together? Remember high school and the "in" group? I always thought when I reach adulthood that I would stop feeling inadequate. I'm not thin enough; I'm not rich enough; I'm not smart enough; I'm not enough!
I hate those feelings!
I took some time this morning to think about my life. I actually tried to view my life as if it weren't mine. Guess what. I discovered those feelings are so irrational. From the outside, my life looks pretty rosy. I have a nice home (which includes a swimming pool. Most people don't have that.), a wonderful family, I'm not fat, I am rich enough (I really don't care much about material things, except that I do LOVE my swimming pool), I am smart enough (although I feel dumber every day), I AM ENOUGH.
When I took the time to view my life the way others probably see it, I am probably one to be envied. My new goal is to count my blessings more often. I am hoping that as I count my blessing those feelings of inadequacy will lessen.

Hey! You're back to blogging! Hooray! I have to admit that I quite checking when about 8 months had lapsed without a new post.
Anyway, I'm thrilled.
By the way, I've always thought you were MORE than enough. You are absolutely one to be envied.
