what I have

Is wonderful.

I have a job that lets me pay my bills. (Honestly, if I am short on cash its a management issue, not a pay issue).

I have three great kids who are just incredible wonderful, amazing, beautiful, smart, creative, willful, and perfect.

I live in a free country, a pleasant town, a sage home.

I live in a time of encredible technological, medical, and informational availability.

What I want

I can live without or wait for or get busy working for.

I want to own my own house. There are specific steps I can take to achieve this and I should start these instead of complaining about what I don't have now.

I want a life partner. I can't force others to love me, but I can love, respect, and appreciate myself. I can't make others care for me, but I can take care of myself.

I want to be able to run long enough to actually do something like an event and I want to be strong. I know what I need to do to get to that point.

What I can do now

I can enjoy life in the moment.

I can pay my bills, clean up my credit rating, and act like an adult about money.

I can seek out honorable people and be patient with the ones I already care about.
