Are there things I don't have that I WANT, sure! I'm not sure anyone could say they have everything they WANT (need, sure...I'd say so) but I wouldn't mind if 20 of my closest friends moved to Savannah, if my parents lived just a little closer, if I didn't have student loans, if prince charming really existed and was in my life, I owned a house and a new car, etc... :) You get the picture -- I guess I can want a lot sometimes, ugh. But I am TRULY happy. I am finally disciplined in my relationship with God, I am learning that honesty is the best policy -- in any/every situation (with tact at times, of course), I love my job, absolutely love it, I am living in a place where I feel free and loved, I have people in my life who care about me, and I am happy!
I was reading over this the other day and liked it...so I'll share: http://kevinpierpont.com/217/true-joy-philippians-11-2/
"Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude."
So ~ I'm happy I'm happy. :)
Things I look forward to:
-Parents visiting in May
-My throat getting rid of this soreness stuff
-A vacation ... even if it's not till Orlando with my oldies, but goodies.
That's all! :)

what a good post! i am glad you are happy and are loving life in georguh. i wish student loans would just pay themselves off. blagh.
i do disagree with this though:
"Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude."
happiness can be traveled to. :) happiness is different for everyone. i don't think there is an overall equation that works for everyone.
LS -- totally agree :) And lets say I traveled to you (in AZ) that would make me very happy....so you're right :)
And yes, student loans -- please pay yourselves!
