When times get tough, sometimes its hard to see the light. So instead of focusing on the negative, I have decided to find the good in my life.
I have the best husband! He really hears what I am saying and always tries to make me happy. This morning he let me sleep in and he took the kids to IHOP for breakfast. I have really be needing a break and that exactly what I got! And he only got three hours of sleep last night!
I found this picture that Rhett and I took when we were just dating. I found it when I was cleaning last night. It made me stop and remember the reasons why I married him. Sometimes when you have been married for 6 years (or more) you forget about that. You get wrapper up in every day, money, finances, kids, work, and you forget the simple reasons why you fell in love. Finding that picture really helped me reevaluate what it was I love about him.
I am so glad my kids are healthy and how sweet Kylee and Luke are. They may annoy me at times with their constant noise, but they are truly sweet and loving. I am so grateful for Rhetts great job, which supports our family and gives us a roof over our head. In these times of trouble, I dont have to worry about if Rhett is going to keep or loose his job. The government takes good care of us.
I have seriously amazing friends. I recently talked to a friend I havent seen in almost 6 years. She has helped me get out of my darkest days, even when we used to be roommates! God has given me some amazing people in my life to help me, even if its not the way I expect help.
I am so grateful for the power of music. Its been such a saving grace in my life. It helps me stop and breath, or dance, or relive a wonderful memory.
I am grateful for the North West. Its so amazingly beautiful up here! People are so friendly up here and helpful. I think I am becoming a little "hippy." Its nice to see life in a different light. I am grateful for the wonderful weather we have been having, for the opportunities I have been given.
May you take a minute and count YOUR blessings.
Thanks for reminding me of how much I have to be grateful for. It's so easy to count your pains or peeves. It takes much more effort to stop and think about what's going right in your life.
