Endless opportunities

I'm fortunate, very fortunate. As are my kids. You see, we have all the opportunities in the world. Sure, we'd all like to win that lottery and be able to do whatever we want, whenever we want, but the reality is, I have a good job that provides me and my kids with all that we really need to get by on and more. 

Whether it's sports, music, trips/holidays/vacations, our neighbourhood and our home, or simply the luxury of going to the grocery store and not really needing to think too much about what I can or can not afford to buy for the week. The fridge is always full, the bills are always paid, and we all have more than enough clothes on our backs to keep us warm and even fashionable. 

You see, it's more than the material things in thankful for today. It's about the opportunities that await us. The comfort of knowing that my kids and I will be able to pursue whatever avenue we wish. Sure we have a path that we are following and we know or at least have a pretty good idea of how and where we'll end up, but we also have the luxury of being able to change that course if we choose to do so. And that my friends is exciting!

So, dream big and take advantage of every opportunity that you encounter, because you never know where it may take you.

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go..."
