Tropical Storm Fay-iled to get me a day off...

Not even a drop of rain. The good news is that I am headed for the beach this weekend!! (I promise there will be some photos of that event...I am trigger happy with the camera) I am so ridiculously excited about this small little beach trip that only lasts three days. One of my all time favorite things to do is travel. God created the whole world and I want to see what He did! But it has been a tough time with the finances lately and traveling was the first to get the axe. I've been trying to see the lessons in my many, many ...one more MANY rough circumstances I have encountered since turning 30, and I have to say that so far - all I have is that being broke SUCKS!! And yet - I have still found a way to spend time with friends, eat out, buy all my "girl product" splurges (YES - pedicures are necessary). So in reality, God did what He said He would do. Provided for my every NEED - not the super expensive shoes but the knock off version of them. Not the trip to Greek Isles that I would quite possibly eat a bug for (in my world - that would be the equivalent of the worst thing you could ever imagine) but a trip to the beach to see the ocean. If I do the "see the bright side" mentality, I am pretty stinkin' blessed. Does that mean I am content? Sometimes. That's where I am praying hard - to let what I am blessed with be enough and not ALWAYS want more!!
