Gratitude ~

I have so many things to be grateful for. We have healthy and happy children, a very nice home that is fully furnished (a little too much ~ Thank You Toresa for helping me with my de-clutter projects!), an awesome husband who works his tail off so I can stay at home, the ability to do photography which I passionately love, wonderful family and in-laws, great friends and life. We can all breathe on our own, we can walk and talk and love ... all without assistance. And most importantly we have the gospel in our lives. When it boils down to it, this is ALL that matters in life right?

That being said, with the help of my Heavenly Father, Wonderful Husband, family and friends I have stayed sane even though some days are harder than others.  I try not to let the constant pain in my wrists and shoulder (which I try to ignore because life still needs to go on) get too overwhelming. In the last 6 months I have had doctor appointments at least 3 to 5 times a week, been through testing, mri's, and dealing with the van which just doesn't seem to get fixed correctly. Life would be so much easier without the consequences of a car accident that wasn't my fault. But couldn't life always be easier, just IF?

I needed to take moment, take a deep breath and remember all that I am so grateful for. There are so many, many things to be grateful for; and I truly am!!!! I have so much gratitude that I (and more importantly the kids) didn't get hurt worse. Things could always be worse and trials always be harder than what they are. I am a very blessed and grateful women!

THANK YOU EVERYONE ~ You know who you are!
