Money

I often dream of what it would be like to be a trust fund baby. It would be nice, wouldn't it? I could fly to visit friends without consideration about how much the ticket would be and could we afford it. In fact, I could fly first class. Actually, I could fly in my own jet.

(Give me a moment to ponder that. .... Ahhh.)

I could buy a house. I could not worry about working EVER again! I could fly my friends here. I could make lavish meals. I could eat out and have lavish meals. I could fund my friends dreams. I could pay all the bills with no fear of what that would do the ol' checking account. I could, I could, I could.

But, here is what I already have, even without having the trust fund.

• A husband whom I love deeply and share a tremendous friendship with.
• A beautiful, healthy daughter.
• Friends in abundance who challenge me, who I can laugh with and who know me.
• A cool place to live. Small? Yes, but cool.
• A growing friendship with Christ.
• Hope.

I am really not sure I need too much more. Life is good. Thanks God. Thank you so much! (Not that I would turn down a trust fund if someone offered it. I'm not at all above that. What? What was that? Did someone just offer up some lottery winnings? Oh, no? You didn't win either. Well, maybe next time.)

What do you have, sans the trust fund, that you are happy to have?

(The picture, uh, yeah, it doesn't really fit with the post. I just liked it and it makes me laugh.) Actually, I think I can tie this together. A quote from David Brent: "Money don't make my world go 'round. I'm reaching out for a higher ground. To a warm and peaceful place. I, I, I, I can rest my weary (forgot the word here. Sorry.)
