Who Am I Competing Against?

Every once in a while I stop and compare myself to my richest friends.  Then I will go ahead and compare myself to 45 year old super models who are married to super wealthy mega-corporate executives.  Then I will buy a fashion magazine and look at all of the 17 year old girls wearing $4,000.00 skirts (size 0) with $18,000.00 bracelets.

After I get done with all of that I will spend some time ruminating on how awfully unfair the world is.  Really, that ego maniac has forty two million dollars and is a socio-pathic drug dealer?  Or my favorite injustice is the legal system, wow.  Go figure, murder can be executed with impunity if you have the right price.  Oh, and this economic mess caused by the 1%, that is really awful stuff.  But that is only if I can just concentrate on America.  I can’t even think about what is going on worldwide…

Never mind, I am an incredibly lucky woman to live in America, to have a job, to be in love with a fabulous man, to have healthy kids and really healthy grandchildren.  It doesn’t get any better than that.
