Life has been good to me the last couple months. Not that my life is so horrible, I know that everyone is struggling with something or other. But now that some of the things I was so stressed about are gone (at least for now) I really need to show myself how to appreciate the little things. Just to be prepared.
First off: Lets give yourself some rules.
- No whining.
- No giving up.
Now make a list to remind you of your blessings. Remember how they happened. Remember how excited you were. So here is a few of mine
Real employment. I remember driving down the street and Alan's phone rang. And he asked you whose # it was (because I am the phonebook) and instead of him skipping the call he answered AND it was his old work asking him to come in the next day cause they needed someone right away!
Along with that I need to remember that I have husband, who works out in the sun all day long. He leaves super early and stays til it is dark sometimes and he is doing it for our family.
Another awesome thing..was we found out how to help Cooper with his school work and what we needed someone else's help with. This was huge for me. This poor kid has struggled with school. The last 2 years of school were not good. But thanks to his great teacher last year, me and him were able to get the help he needs. We didn't get it til the end of the school year but we are still moving forward. And he is actually confident in himself.
My kids and I were also able to go on vacation in July. We were able to go to Utah and see my brother and sister's families. It was such a fun trip and so needed. Just to get away for awhile. It was actually the first real vacation Caleb has ever been on and he is 5. Oh well. It was great and we really had a good time. Plus we found out Heidi is expecting and are so excited for them.
So I am gonna leave myself with these things for tonight. Who know when my next challenge will come.

sadly sometimes it takes the not so fun stuff to remind us of the good stuff in life. Good for you for seeing all of your blessings! I am so happy for all of those things you listed and that everything is looking up.
No matter what's going on in life, it really does help to stop and notice the things we are blessed with, and be thankful.
I'm so glad that you are counting your blessings. Reading this post reminded me that I should do that more often. THANK YOU for sharing!!
xoxo
