Just a few days ago, I was talking to my single sister. She was lamenting her singleness and we began talking about how many married women would kill for the freedom she enjoys in being on her own and being able to make big decisions all on her own. I shared with her something that I had been thinking a lot about lately, how we need to be happy with where we are every single day. That can be hard when you're largely pregnant, and not close enough to have your baby to make yourself happy, when the economy is down, etc. There's always something that you wish were different. I have learned a lot of lessons in this department, pertaining to the fact that a truly happy person is happy with where they are this very moment. And that's it.
And to prove how much I still have to learn, today I got my new crowns. I thought I hated having half blue teeth. But as soon as they pulled those temporary half blue teeth off, I found out how much I loved having un-sensitive, happy little teeth. I now have beautiful white crowns, and INCREDIBLY sensitive front teeth. Why wasn't I happy with what I had? Why did I have to let my vanity get the best of me? I would so much rather have half blue teeth than the inability to drink cold water like I used to, or whistling out AND in.
The lesson I have learned again is, be happy with what you have at this moment, because it could always get worse. And it very well may.
