How to be rich in less than 5 minutes.....

Success & Happiness ...ughh.....sometimes I hate taking about this topic with certain people. Its a never ending battle between opinions. As we all know, everyone values success in their own ways. Some may think wallets full of Benjamin's makes them Superior in the world, while others flaunt their CEO/CFO titles around like we give a shit. You wanna know what i think? Well, too bad, I am going to tell you anyways. I think if you wake up satisfied & happy with who you are, what you do and most importantly what you have than you are Successful! You are more powerful than the richest man in the world.....Because almost certainly that man is more miserable than you think.

Remember the old saying your parents tried telling you growing up? " Money doesn't buy happiness"....well, here we are and its TRUE. Money may make life a bit easier- but if you aren't happy with your "bare ass self"- then all the money in the world is not going to help. Strip down those designer clothes, fake nails, jewelry up the yin yang and what do you see?? Someone who is happy with what they have.....Children, a roof over your head, food to eat, a hobby you enjoy, good friends & family and most importantly YOU! You are here...living each day....Be Grateful for that.

I am grateful for my son. He is my best friend and I couldn't imagine life without him.....so I am grateful that I woke up today with him.....and will be grateful for tomorrow when I wake up to him again. I am grateful I found my soulmate at such a young age- as you never know when your last day will be and I want as much time with him as possible. I am grateful my husband works so we can have a roof over our heads...as small as it is and as much as I complain- its home...it's a cozy home...and most importantly it's OUR HOME! I am grateful for my friends & family who without saying bring so much DRAMA & LOVE into my life. I wouldn't want it any other way- because they are MY friends & family and you should be grateful for what you have not what you do not!

Think of what you are most grateful for tomorrow as you sit and enjoy your meal. For starters, Be grateful you have a meal to sit down to... Too many this year are without.

Happy Turkey day!!!!
