I’m Feeling Rich.

I’m feeling pretty rich lately. Not the money kind of rich (although, wouldn’t that be nice?) but the true kind of rich. The kind that has nothing to do with your bank account and everything to do with your life. The kind that doesn’t go away when you spend it. For me, it’s a bunch of little things, and some big things, too.

It’s finding brand new pens in nice colors that also write great (easier said than done!).

It’s creating yesterday’s post and feeling my heart just swell with joy while I look at picture after picture of Jack and realizing that this is real life. It’s realizing just how happy I am about that.

It’s feeling good enough to make a to-do list and know that at least some of it will actually get done.

It’s going to the mall and walking in stores you’ve never even really noticed before and looking at tiny little clothes and laughing over just how small a seersucker suit can be.

It’s second cups of coffee because Publix has started carrying my favorite creamer again.

It’s sunny and 75 after a week of weather that made it feel like the North Pole had relocated to the sunshine state.

It’s a Friday night with no plans.

It’s the little things (and the not-so-little things) that just make days good. The things that make you happy. The things that you can’t manufacture, and the things you can buy for just a few dollars. It’s waking up and knowing that life is just good. It’s knowing that no matter what your bank account may say, you’re truly, truly rich in life.

What’s making you feel rich lately?
