10 Reason my life is stinking great

My life is stinking great.

Here are 10 reasons why my life is better than the average American:

1. I don't feel the need to compare my life with the lives of others. I'd still feel rich, even if everyone had more money and stuff than me.

2. I feel rich through things that most take for granted -- things such as my mp3 player, the public library, the trail by my house, the internet, my health, my friendships.

3. I'm satisfied with my possessions -- ( but there are still things I'd like to have)

4. I'm happy with the person that I've chosen to become. I don't spend time thinking, if only I was more.... or if only I had... I used to think like that. (but I still want to grow)

5. I don't spend my time doing things that make me unhappy. I'll get paid more when I'm older, in a job I enjoy. My time now is worth more than $10 bucks an hour.

6. I let my world create itself. I find I frequently surprise me on how great things can turn out when I'm spontaneous and let nature takes its course.

7. I'm happy with this moment now. I'm not waiting for the weekend or my vacation or anything else.

8. Almost everyday I have moments where I feel really happy for basically no reason at all. It's great.

9. My favorite color is maroon, which has nothing to do with purple. My favorite color is also invisible. And dark orange.

10. I'm excited for my future, yet I'm not waiting for it.

When is Now?

Last night I went to bed earlier than usual. This morning at 7:30 I woke up, and it was cloudy. It was a very odd feeling to realize that I was not sure if it was 7:30 am or 7:30 pm, and I had no real indications of either direction.

Every Moment of Everyday

I often think that I want to make the best of each moment of each day. Yet, I don't. And when I think about this thought, it usually makes me slow down, and take too long to do anything.
