If you're lucky enough to live at the beach . . .

. . . you're lucky enough.

I was walking Milo this afternoon and saw this quote on a neighbors house. Again. It speaks to me every time I see it, and yet I forget within a day or two how meaningful it is.

When people ask what our child rearing technique is, Dave and I always say the same thing. We have high expectations of our children. For the most part they meet and exceed those expectations.

Perhaps I have let that idea get away from me. I have high expectations of life. I must have what I want when I want it or things are not right! That might not be the most appropriate way to live life.

I've come up with a few variations of this quote that would serve me well to keep in mind:

If you are lucky enough to have a home to live in, and food to eat, you are lucky enough.

If you are lucky enough to have a loving family, you are lucky enough.

Most importantly,

If you are lucky enough to have the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, you are lucky enough!
