What's so great about being me is......

Just joking, I do my best to keep it dwon here on the Earth. However< i have been "working from home for over 5 years now and I am a little proud of myself for that reason. It has not been easy. Financially, we've been up and down, and it certainly seems like we feel and remember the down more than the up. But, all in all, it has been so worth it, I have witnessed so much more in my childrens young lives that I would never exchange it for anything.

We eat breakfast, lunch and dinner together almost every day. That trumps a new BMW for now. Don't get me wrong, I really want the realy, really fine things in life, just now, I have chosen differernt things in favor of my children. You see, most folks don't realize until it's too late that children do things for such a very short period of time. They are only cute for so very long, "trust me on this one, I have a 12 year old girl as well as my 2 little ones". They grow and stop kissing you and hugging you too much. I love you is a chore to say. It's not as if we do things wrong and they are damaged, it's just the way of the world.

So, stop what your doing, it's Columbus day, (That guy has got one heck of a story you should check out sometime) and take stock. Are you focused on the a prize? Or is the prize right in front of you and you need to shift your focus?
