I have more than enough.

By Lourdes Werner

I have a sewing machine and yards and yards of

fabric.  I make quilts.

I have the ocean outside my window.  I'm privileged.

I have a little extra money once in a while.  I buy books.

I have children and grandchildren.  That in itself should be enough.

I have a small espresso coffee maker.  I wake my husband up with the aroma.

I love the ocean, the sand, and the sun.  I make sure I get my daily dosage.

I have empathy.  Every day is a challenge to keep it.

I love blue nail polish.  I make sure I use it often.

I have a favorite coffee mug.  It has my initial on it.

I have herbs growing in my balcony.  Oregano and basil are my favorite.

I have Bob.  He is my soul mate.

I have two new pairs of flip flops.  Flip flops are the best.

I have a favorite recipe of "arroz con pollo" that everyone loves.

I have a great recipe of banana bread with chocolate chips and I make

it every time bananas start to rot.

I have many ideas to write about.  I have started to develop them.

I have a blanket to snuggle with on the couch and someone to share it with.

I have very few friends but they are the only ones I need.

I have a brand new bottle of my favorite perfume.  Who needs two?

I have a huge bucket list.  Every time I take one item off, I add another.

I have enough to last a lifetime.  I'm lucky.
