Even with current economic climate I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Well, maybe my own Caribbean island, but that's about it ;-) @ Alexi - Good for you on ALL fronts. I love it when I hear stories about people getting good results from coaching. Tell the world ;-) Thanks for commenting! @ Sharon - Thanks a lot and I certainly try and follow your advice even with my two dogs! @ Allan – That excellent, sometimes it can be easy to concentrate on what we don’t have rather than be grateful for what we have.

And Unfortunatly it is true that we dont really appreciate what we have until it is taken away from us, which is why it is so important to tell the ones you love how you feel everyday. Thanks for sharing this lovely read! Great Read, I really enjoyed it.

Following some lifecoaching, I've stopped blaming things on others and started taking some seriously adventurous actions for myself. Following a five-month adventure round the world, I've returned to a very difficult economy/job market, and, aged 26 and having lived away from home for 13 years, I'm living back with my parents. We're all having to adjust to one another again. It's a challenge that we are all slowly rising to! And what is interesting, is that I'm learning that I am more like them than I've ever really thought. The good and the not so good. And I'm sure that my hardy attitude and approach to the next few months, when life/jobs are going to be fairly tough, will be greatly helped by the positive attitude that they've instilled in me. I think keeping a sense of humour and laughing at the small stuff is the most important thing in any situation - so I'm pleased to hear you and your sister were laughing together. Keep it up! :D Alexias last blog post..<a href="http://scribblethenibbles.blogspot.com/2008/11/cheap-n-quick-n-cheerful-carrot-ginger.html" rel="nofollow">Cheap 'n' Quick 'n' Cheerful - Carrot & Ginger Soup</a> Brilliant point, well made.

And though they lived in relative poverty or modesty, they never acted deprived or wronged. They always felt lucky and blessed to have made it to America and instilled the same feelings in me.

If you can laugh a bit, you must understand on some level that somewhere in the future, things will be ok. I also believe that no one's parents give them every tool they need to be a healthy, well-adjusted adult. Some of us get more, some less but our 'job' as adults is to go out and find the missing pieces. I never understand how so many people can give their power away so carelessly by holding other people accountable for their actions. My parents gave me a mixed bag, some amazing things that haved paved the way for personal and professional success in life and some handicaps that I've had to figure out how to overcome, but hey, isn't that why we're here?
