Reflections

As I sit here watching cartoons with my little man I started thinking. I don't think I ever imagined my life to be where it is today. I have some amazing things in my life and I also have some not so amazing things going on in my life. A year ago today I was working a good job, living in my own apartment, and living a different life. I never imagined a year ago that I would be living back at home and pretty much jobless right now. I mean I have a job for the most part driving the ice cream truck but its closed right now due to it being to cold to drive. A year ago I imagined that today I would have a good full time job, the means to provide for me and my son, and being in a relationship with someone that means a lot to me. But as I sit here in my room I look back and think that I had it good but I still have it good. I have a family that loves me, a son that means the world to me, a roof over my head, and food in my belly. Some days it is hard because I would love to be able to do more for my son and be able to go out on an occasional date with someone that means something to me. Some times I might not sound very grateful but I am very grateful for all the love and support I get from all my friends and family. I hope they all know how much I appreciate them. Someday I will have that great life that I've always dreamed about. Maybe not today and maybe not for a while but I know my day is coming. So today I count my blessings for I know that tomorrow I may not be able to do so. Everyday is a gift from God so let us all be grateful for what we have and for who we have in our lives.
