Green With Envy

If the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, you can bet the water bill is higher.
— Debbie Macomber

Envy is such a harsh word but very realistic. Have you ever been so jealous it half kills you? I believe we've all experienced envy at some time or another. I have had green-with-envy moments in my lifetime. It's human nature.

Sometimes Envy Overrules - Let It, Then Get Over It

There is absolutely nothing at all wrong with dreaming. I woke up yesterday in my mansion with my Bently parked in the garage after winning $10 million in the Georgia lottery. Then I woke up and realized that it was the person on TV holding the oversized check and not me. That sucks!

There's Life After Envy

Every cloud has its silver lining. Itโ€™s all about what Iโ€™m fortunate enough to have:

  • Another day above ground

  • My family - far and near

  • My health

  • My job *chuckle*

  • My house *chuckle* again

  • Food on my table

  • The clothes on my back

I have absolutely nothing to be envious of. I have everything I need and there's someone out there that would give the world to be in my shoes.

Has that green-eyed lady appeared on your doorstep? If so, fight it and talk about what you're grateful for.
