What a wonderful, boring life :)

Wow - do I stink at this whole blog thing or what?! I seriously want to write, but I feel like I never have anything worthy to write about!! Most bloggers I know are married & have awesome posts on marriage or have kids & have tons of baby advice & stories to update you on, or they are traveling & have adventurous journeys that you can live through. 

Well I'm not married, I am no where close to having kids, & I have never even been out of the country. I know sound like an incredibly boring person. And often times I feel like I don't have this fun, exciting life like those around me. I got to work. I go to school. I sleep, eat, & breathe and try to make it to the next day. That's it. That's my life. Yeah, sure I have fun times with friends, family & my man, but I wouldn't necessarily call it exhilarating or monumental. 
Okay, enough of the pity party. 
Then yesterday it all of a sudden just kind of hit me after reading about a young woman, who I used to be friends with when I was a pre-teen, had lost her husband in a tragic accident. I haven't talked to her in years, but my heart was completely broken for her. And in that moment I realized how lucky I am. It's sad that it took her tragic for me to realize this, but it's the truth. My life is so full & blessed beyond measure. While all this may change in a matter of seconds, at this very moment I am the luckiest girl in the entire world.
Yes, I have an incredible boring life. But a boring life is better than no life at all.
