Yesterday morning I read some things that made me rethinking how I have been thinking. I needed to stop the wanting, wishing and envy.
That very evening. I started two new wish lists and started thinking about what I wanted on my list for Christmas. Not even a full 24 hours past and I was back on the same road.
AARRGGG!
Then I realized what I was doing... and stopped.
I deleted the wish lists.
I started a new list.
Things I already have. Things I have already done. Things that I could do for little or no money that mean more. Traditions, memories, and moments to look back on. Not stuff.
I have a new focus. A new plan. New outlook. New priorities.
I had a pretty bowl on my Christmas wish list.
I love this bowl. I love this bowl that I already own. It was found at the local thrift store for 1.99 a few years ago. I love this bowl filled with fresh apples that are pretty to look at and good for the body.
I am going to go watch my daughter sleep now. I love doing that.

I love this! I think we all need to do this at some point. I think we really begin to re-evaluate our lives when we are blessed with children.
Thanks for wishing us a visit from the sleep fairy...sadly, I think she's on vacation.
Great post and reminder to enjoy your blessings. We all have too much "stuff," simplify and enjoy. This morning my 4 year old told me that she has too many toys, and that we need to get rid of some. Really? She's right!
