One Thing We Always Forget to Do

We all run busy lives full with work, chores, mess, kids, loans, difficulties in relationships… Sometimes it’s so hard that we start to complain about our lives and maybe even envy the lives of others. Truth is nobody’s life is better that yours because absolutely everyone could name at least several things that are not the way they want them to be. Each and every person could concentrate on those unfortunate things and feel deeply unhappy, which leads to a miserable life eventually.

That is why it is important to have those blessed moments when we acknowledge all the good things in our lives and learn to be very grateful for them. I noticed, that in my life I often have those moments when I listen to classical music, especially Mozart.

When I have a moment to myself – to think about my life, not worrying about chores and routine things, the music cheers me up, it gets into me, I feel blessed and happy. At those moments I remember that all the difficulties aside – I love my life, I wouldn’t trade it for anybody else’s life, I like what I am doing and all this makes me happy.
Sometimes I envy other people – some women with their great carriers, or other’s relationship – because they got it right from the first time, not like me, or other people situation in relationship with children, because me myself will always have a not always simple relationship with my stepchild and his mother…

But then I think about all this and understand – I would never do anything different in my life. All the decisions I made earlier – I would make them again even if I had a chance to change the past. All things that I did kind of wrong which I would do differently now if I had a similar situation did not bring me just pain and suffering. In fact, there was much less suffering than anything else. I learnt a great lot from my mistakes. And every time I think about it I feel content and so proud of myself. Yes, I feel a little bit embarrassed as well, but all these feelings show me that I grow up, I develop my personality, I learn and with every new day I am a little bit wiser and more reasonable person that I was before.
And this is the kind of feeling that I love most of all and that gives me joy and willingness to live. The fact that I improve myself, the fact that I change for the better all the time and I constantly grow, I do not settle.

I love my family more than anything in the world, but still I appreciate these moments to myself very much as well. It’s at these moments when I get to remember how beautiful and happy my life is, that I do not want to live everybody else’s life.

Dear friends, no matter how busy you are working, raising your children, running your chores, do remember to have these moments all to yourself in order to think about your life and get to appreciate what you have.

Love,
Alexandra
