Treasure

When I was a nanny I worked and lived with a family that had millions of dollars.
I was lucky to experience their life without all of the other trappings.
I am a middle class American.
What that means is in the big picture of life I have wealth beyond measure.
I never go hungry.
I am able to control the climate in my home to keep our family comfortable.
I can afford good health care and I am blessed with great doctors.
My husband has a great job that allows me to be home with our children.
I have a choice on how I educate my boys and my daughter (how many girls in the world are not allowed to be educated).
We have not one, but two cars.
We have a nice home and we are building another.
I really like my husband. He is so funny and supportive and very cute.
We are all healthy.
I really like my mom and get to see her all the time.
I have friends.
I spend money on scrapbooking and stamps because it is fun.
I have books. I can own them. I can borrow them. I can read what I want. I can talk about it.
Relative to the world population I am wealthy beyond measure.
I often think about why I was born into this instead of born into a family in India, or Africa or China or Iraq - why have I been given so much?
I have treasure beyond measure.
