I always told my kids NOT to look forward to the future, but to appreciate each day as it comes along and be as happy as possible with what the day holds. It makes no sense for anyone to agonize over what they don't have -- whether its "stuff" or ralationships. A happy person is a person who can't afford the new shoes they want but finds a sense of satisfaction in shining the old ones up until they gleam. None of us knows what the future holds in store or if we will even have a tomorrow -- today is the only day that counts.

And much beloved! This is the good part of being an adult (which is sometimes very difficult) - getting to a place where you learn to surround yourself with the things that you need/want/and treat you right.

As an outsider I must say that you appear to be one very lucky woman. Enjoy it and savor every moment; you've earned it.
