    Default What makes you feel "rich"?

    Was thinking about this tonight...

    My loved ones around our dinner table...

    Tonight...sitting on the couch, good book in hand and a soft warm blanket laid upon my lap as I read...

    For me it would be the whole family actually having a movie night at home, I love it, especially when we have a "movie critic" conversation when it's over. lol

    I feel rich when I'm cozy in the house on cold winters' night. I actually love to hear the winter wind howl outside my bedroom window, as I snuggle in those flannel sheets.

    When the whole family gets together.
    Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.

    I feel rich because I know that God blesses my family with so many good things. Rich isn't about money and possesions, it is being loved and loving others.

    When my kids are all happy and when I can take a day to do anything I want(not cleaning) and the house doesn't become a disaster zone.

    When we all sit down to dinner together to thank the Lord for all he give us, especially bringing us all back together to our home safely after our day of going our separate ways.
    May today there be peace within...

    May you trust your highest power that you are exactly where you are meant to be...

    I too love those moments before my family tears into a good meal. When we're all gathered around the table with hands joined just before grace. I'm very very lucky in that I have lots of extended family within close range and we gather together often at least once a month. Its not unusal to have upwards of 20/25 folks around the table. The simplest meal of brats and beer is a celebration.

    I feel rich when I have a full bottle of laudry detergent in the cupboard.

    The thing that makes me feel the richest of all is when I am out and about with DH (especially in winter when we're wrapped up) and go window shopping. It's great to look at all the beautiful things and feel perfectly happy to leave them for someone else to take home!

    A good book and a warm blanket and a good cup of coffee on a cool winter's night.

    Knowing that I have a loving family, a wonderful DH and DS whom I love more each day.

    Small moments that make me realize how precious life is, like realizing hugs and kisses are more valuable than any expensive toy you can buy, and certain moments in life really are priceless.
