Are You Living the Life You Want to Live?

It was 4:30 on a Friday afternoon and as I rode the elevator down to my office coming from my last meeting of the day I looked up at the mirrored ceiling at my tired eyes and asked myself, "Is this really the life that I wanted to live?" too tired to answer out loud I could feel a little conflict between my heart and my tired mind. On the one hand, I love the demands of Corporate but on the other hand I'm tempted to give it all away and move to an island far away. Exasperated I grabbed my briefcase/work bag and high tailed it to my car, before anyone could ask me another question or give me another task. Once in my car I reached for my cell phone and noticed that I had a message waiting for me; it was from my husband, what task did he have for me I wondered, did he need me to stop by the grocery store, or pick-up his dry cleaning? I listened to the message slightly disinterested and he simply said, "Babe, give me a call when you get this message." I called him back and he said, "I want you to come straight home I want to take you out tonight." I was anxious to know where he was taking me ut I was more in the mood for a surprise... two and a half hours later we were pulling up to Coco's Butter Cafe, for a little spoken word poetry, but the biggest surprise came not when my husband got on stage to perform one of his signature pieces, but when he performed a special piece which he dedicated to me. He began with, "He who finds a wife finds a good thing." With tears in my eyes and my spirit more at piece then at any other point o fthe day, I smiled to myself as I answered my own question... Yes, I am totally living the life I want to live. So now I ask you, are you living the life that you want to live?
