Well-Deserved

Tired of being confined by the space in my little ford focus, I finally upgraded to a brand new SUV. Two of my uncles (one paternal and one maternal) both told me the same thing,” You work hard, you deserve it.” For some reason this really resonated with me because I often take my own self for granted and all that I do. I do work hard and I do give much of myself, and as much as I know I deserve the best, I don’t always allow myself to have it. In all my self-esteem and confidence, I am humble when it comes to material things. It’s just not my idea of what’s important. But the fact was with my growing family and all of the traveling I do with my books, I needed more space. I needed a reliable vehicle for winter, and I had that care for over 8 years. Driving it made me feel great, because like my uncles said, I deserved it. No don’t get me wrong I’m not going to go bananas, but I will be kinder to myself from now on.
