Just an Overall Update August 31, 2008

Things have been moving at the speed of light for us these days!  So busy, places to go and people to see! 

It has been very interesting for me lately because eventhough a major part of my life is falling to pieces and it is most definately the hardest time of my life…I am gaining more confidence, pride (the good kind!) and  just feeling altogether okay.

I have managed to learn how to try out letting things go to God and learning how to achieve peace even when things are hard.  Now, I am not claiming I am great at it but for now this is what I have and I feel that HE thinks its good enough!

I have moments that I give into anger or  hurt but the difference now is that If I do, I recognize it and quickly change my behavior.  It is so freeing to know if you give it up truly that you will be alright.  No matter how huge the problem is!

So…things are hard, sometimes I do get overwhelmed with not being able to see any light at the end of the tunnel but I am practicing faith and I believe there is a light!  That is huge for me!

Jabs August 24, 2008

What’s the point???  I mean, I know you’re hurting but does it really make you feel better to throw jabs at someone else?  Grow up and take responsibility.  Projecting is for the weak and people who “lack integrity.”  Maybe Keith wasn’t all that wrong afterall.

Back off and accept responsibility.

What a Sweet Child August 10, 2008

Here are a few quote from my almost 3 year old son today…

(As he is laying next to his baby sister, he rolls over and wraps his arms around her and says in her ear) “Don’t worry sissy, I will love you.”

(To mommy as we are resting during naptime watching a movie. Again, rolls over and hugs me) “I love you so so much mommy. You’re the best mommy.”

(In the car as I am in the back seat with the kids) “Mommy, I love you and mommy, you have the most beautiful blue eyes” (although they are green…I’ll take it!)

(To grandma sitting on the steps) “So, Grandma, how was your day today?”

Just One of Those Days August 10, 2008

Today was just one of those days I guess.  I remain grateful and happy that I am healthy, strong and have an absolutely wonderful family.

Sometimes I just get in a funk and am not sure how I got there but I’d sure like to hop on out.  Sometimes life is just tough and you have to take the bad with the good.

So…let’s focus on the good, shall we…

I am fully healthy and strong.  As are my children and close family.

My children do the sweetest and silliest things throughout the day that just make me proud and usually laugh my butt off.

I may be unsure of a lot of my future but I know I can be happy and I know I will be ok….although I do occasionally need to be reminded.

When life gets discouraging and tough, I can remember it is going to thicken my skin and make me stronger.

Someday I will look back after these bumpy times have settled and be proud of how I got through it and the decisions and commitments I made.
