The Pursuit Of Happyness

We went to Oregon over the holidays and I'm just getting back in the groove of writing in my blog! We had such a wonderful time with family and good friends. Nothing beats that! We saw two movies while we were there- "The Pursuit Of Happyness" & "Charlotte's Web". Although I usually like Wil Smith...I just thought the movie was ok. I needed more from the ending- all it talked about at the end of the movie was how the man became successful in his business endeavors & how he became financially secure & stable. It showed nothing about how his personal life became better with his son, etc...I needed to see the two of them, cuddled in front of a fireplace, I guess just showing that money isn't everything in life. It bothers me more than I can express when people think money is the end all for making someone happy. I know alot of people who have more money than they will ever be able to spend in their lives...yet not always so happy are they! It goes back to what I always tell Shea: Just because someone has alot of money does not make them rich. I truly believe than God has blessed me richly with many other gifts other than financial security!

Two of my favorite sayings:

To know when you have enough is to be rich.


You won't be happy with more until you're happy with what you've got!
