A Happy Life

    I just want to say that I am one of the lucky ones. Of course there are things I would like to have that I can't afford. There are things I would like to do that I can’t afford to do. I have to budget my money and save for my retirement.
    On the other hand I don’t really need anything that I don’t already have and I have almost everything I could possibly want. I have a young beautiful wife that is a wonderful cook. I am so well loved and taken care of. We have been together for six years and are in love with each other. It hasn’t always been easy. We went through tough times learning how to be married and how to stay married. We are still learning but it is easier now that we have some marriage skills. There were times when we tolerated each other and times when we thought we couldn’t. Now we hold hands a lot and long for each other's touch like when we were dating. I'm not saying it is just like it was in the beginning. I am saying that back then we were falling in love and now we are really in love with each other.
    We have great kids. They love us. I feel like we are good parents for our age and we are constantly learning how to parent. The youngest of our children have the advantage of the parenting skills we have learned with the older ones.
    We are not perfect. We do our best to teach them how to live a happy life with what we hope is the right amount of discipline, love and affection with the knowledge that having God in your life is the only way to lead a fulfilled happy life.
    No mater how much wealth you accumulate there will still be material things to peruse. Those things are insignificant if you are loved and your needs are met.
