I'm grateful but...

I'm grateful but... I don't have a new car.
I'm grateful but... I don't have a degree
I'm grateful but... that dude didn't pay me

See where I'm going with this? I want a lot of crap. Most of it is materialistic or in forms of financial gain.

There isn't anything wrong with that, especially if I'm willing to work for it.

Some things are out of my control. I have to keep that in mind, too. That guy not paying me? I can't do anything about it but put my own spin and positivity on it.

I was aggravated at first, but I was quick to see my part. I also started this blog. It's not big yet, but it will be.

It makes it easier to market myself to potential clients for quick jobs. And it gives me a fun outlet.

As far as the car thing goes, well, my car runs and is paid off. So I don't have to carry full insurance. I also have AC which is imperative for surviving Louisiana summers.

And the degree? It's coming. But I'm doing it my way, accomplishing every thing I can along the way.

In the meantime, I'll be grateful. Truly grateful for everything that goes right in my life on a daily basis.
