Life

Have you ever had a period of time in your life when you just find yourself wishing for changes?  I find that this can be a very rocky road.  I have nothing to complain about, nothing... we are so blessed.  I have 5 beautiful, healthy (most of the time), happy and fun loving children.  Mike has a good job, which is so huge in this economy.  We have a beautiful home, cars to drive, clothes to wear, food on the table, running water, a heated home and so many other luxuries in this life.  And yet, lately, I find the thought crossing my mind... if only we could do, or change (fill in the blank).  I am not sure why I am stuck in this wishing phase.  I'm trying to be a good friend, sister, mother, wife, caregiver and neighbor, and yet I find myself desiring change... could it be due to the fact that our family has never stayed put in one place for so long (4 years)!  Am I just so used to "moving and starting over" that my entire being is ready to do it again?  I never thought of myself as much of the "adventurous" type.  I am a home body, I enjoy being home with an occasional short trip here and there.  Honestly my home makes me happy, my children make me happy.  Now if I could just get rid of this nagging that is making me wish for changes... we all know where that can lead (last time from West coast to the East Coast)....
