I am a rich man!

[Bob Wright]

We, Nita and I, were sitting at the breakfast table this morning, I still having my third cup of coffee. Outside the weather was muggy, hot, and dark cloudy. Sort of one of those days when you could slice off a piece of humidity.

I observed, "Isn't it nice to just sit here and dwell over coffee on a day like this, without having to get up and dress for work? You'd think we were rich folks."

My wife looked at me and said, "We are rich. Richer than those who have millions." And then added, "I can't think of a single thing I want that I can't buy."


Yep. I'm rich!

Life is good Brother Bob, we are getting much more than we deserve, for sure. We could send you slice of that humidity as well.

Yup, brother Bob is quite wise. I never miss checking your posts Bob. You live life with a kinda grace thats difficult for many of us. I'll keep trying, it's what my Lord wishes.

I was once told by some wise person, who I have forgotten, but the definition of happiness is "wanting what you get, not getting what you want". That is a short lesson of life, I seem to come to when I get down.

Thanks

Either your wife doesn't want much or you have way too much money!

P.S. I'd hang on to her if I were you!

So true! As my last birthday was approaching I was asked what I wanted? It said that some good weather would be nice. I have all the "things" I will ever need or use. My wife and I have always said that if we couldn't pay for it 'now' we probably didn't need it. I don't know if that makes us 'rich' or not, but we are comfortable. Of course a car or a house is not in that equation.

The Wife and Kids always want to know what I want for birthdays and Christmas. I always tell them socks and underwear or sweatshirts. That exasperates them, but really, that's all I ever need.

Right now as I sit here my two closest Grandchildren are swimming in Grandma's pool. I love to just listen to them. 10 and 12.

Life is indeed good.

I'm guessing she don't want her own gun collection or you might be broke. :lol:

The world is a good place and you are part of it. I envy you.
