The Haves and Have Nots

It's easy to get disheartened when as soon as you get your paycheck it is dissipated between rent, utilities, groceries, and other expenses necessary for simple living. It is also easy to count the things you wish you were able to afford - getting your hair done, pedicures, a dress that is not on the clearance rack.

So I have decided to make a list of all the things that I DO have:

• God
• A wonderful, supporting family
• Justin Moss - my love and motivation
• My friends who provide me with an escape from my troubles
• Fred the Ted <3
• An associates degree, a bachelors degree, and only a small amount of student loans remaining to pay off
• A full-time job
• A home with heating and A/C
• A comfy bed to fall asleep in at night
• INTERNET
• Cable television
• Eden, my acoustic guitar
• A car with under 50K miles on it

So even though there are objects I would like to have, things I would like to do, and places I would like to go - I am very fortunate and blessed, especially in comparison to many other individuals across America/
