Enough to Say Grace Over

I've been quite distracted lately almost to the point of obsessing about a new house. It's quite enticing to do some big dreaming again. It's even more fun to do it all with David. But sometimes you just have to stop and take stock of what you have and where you're going. A mentor of mine says "you've got enough to say grace over" which often means "you're busy." But here, I think it can mean "your cup is overflowing so why are you working yourself up about what you don't have?"

It is true that I definitely want some more space and that elbow room will be at a premium when the children are a little older. But it is also true that this little home is cozy and full of love. It's enough to say grace over.

A beautiful motto. Your post also reminds me of my favorite Russian proverb: "When a peasant has no more problems, he buys a pig."
