Feeling a little thoughtful again

So today, once again, one of my poor kiddos is sick. There is really something going around. This usually does happen for the first few monthes after school starts. Hopefully everyone will start felling well soon!!!

I've been doing some thinking this morning and, wow, I am lucky. I am so lucky to have job where I can take time off if I need to for what ever reason. That I can arrange my schedule as needed to suite my needs and my family's needs. This is a nice thing. Now--I'll be honest. I'm not rich by any stretch of the American idea of wealthiness. My salary is nice, but not huge or anything. But you know what? In my mind I am rich. I am able to get up and go to a job that I love. I am able to do something that is my PASSION. How many people get to say that?
