Boudica - Social News Site For Women

The sun was warm on my shoulders as I
marched into DSW with my $10 off coupon tucked away in my purse.
Today's mission, inspired by my coworkers suggestion, was a new pair of
flats to wear to the office.

A
person would not normally expect to have profound thoughts while
wandering the aisles of a shoe store, however, that is where today's
life observation presented itself to me. "I don't need another new pair
of shoes!" In a single moment, I realized that there is nothing that I
need. I am content.

It
only took about two seconds for my mind to take a quick inventory of my
life: My children are healthy, happy, and leading positive lives. I
have a safe and comfortable home. I have some wonderful new friends. I
have many long time friends that have shared my life adventures. I have
friends that love and support me daily. I have amazing siblings that
are truly fun to be with. I have the most loving parents, who are
healthy and active. I have the luxury of working with wonderful people.
I enjoy what I do for a living. I am healthy and happy.

It
was a peaceful moment when I realized that all was right in my
world. My personal universe is in balance. Taking a deep breathe, I
recognized how fortunate I am to be truly content. Isn't this what we
all strive for every day?

As
I stepped back out into the sun, I placed my sunglasses firmly on the
bridge of my nose. I dropped into the drivers seat, throwing the
shopping bag on the seat next to me. Sure, I didn't need another new
pair of shoes, but how can you walk away from a cute pair of black
plaid flats? I am content!
