Sometimes I am overwhelmed with how blessed I am. I know that there are many on this earth who don't get to experience 1/10th of the things that I do. The things that I take for granted are their idea of luxuries. I don't know why I was created to live this life, but I recognize these blessings as a gift.
I'm on vacation with my family right now in Myrtle Beach. Vacations like this are full of frivolities. We go out to eat for nearly every meal. We've already spent hours lounging in the various pools at the resort. We drove way out of the way to indulge in overpriced ice cream. We've blown hard earned money on must-have trinkets at the local boutiques. Tomorrow we will allow the sun to kiss our shoulders as we dip our toes in the ocean and find shells in the sand.
These are the days that take my breath away.
