The little luxuries of life....

Nothing profound here, but after having no internet at our condo for over 2 weeks I am especially grateful for it. Isn't it funny how we sometimes take the little luxuries in life for granted?

On a more personal note...  I spent time with 2 of my nieces and 1 of my nephews yesterday. I love kids and how much confidence they possess in their youth. I consider that a luxury -- to be carefree, happy, optimistic, and confident as a kid. Maybe they haven't realized who's faster, brighter, stronger, more attractive, or more popular than them. What a great blessing!

Life can get you down when you compare yourself to others. I love this advice from Dr. Seuss:

Reflect on the miracle that is YOU.
