Rich

***

If I'm honest with myself - and with you - I'll admit there are a few things I want:

better health (she said, as she polished off the peanut m&ms)
a sense of Home

perhaps a happily-ever-after or two...

I must admit, however, that the things I do not want for
far outweigh any perceived deficit on my part:

living in a country with an unlimited supply of peanut m&ms

a job that affords me the freedom of flight

a heart deeply loved

a mind mostly at peace

a God who doles out do-overs as though they didn't cost Him a thing...

and this is just to name a few,

(not to mention a dream-come-true or two)

when held up against the things I lack,

I'd say I'm soundly in the black...

.....and counting......and counting....

...and counting......
