I wanted to take a minute just to say how blessed I am.  I have a roof over my family's head, food in my cupboards, soap to sanitize my dishes, a family support group, a church support group, spousal support, and enough money coming in to cover our tails every month with just enough on the side to buy birthday gifts for others and the occasional trip to the D.I.
More than just the necessities, though, I have this beautiful son who lightens up my life a little more every day.  He's my little miracle baby and he gives me such hope.  I've got a husband who loves me no matter what I look like (I know because he's put to the test every waking morning-haha!) and accepts my little ticks and quirks.  I've got sisters who keep me qualifyingly sane and give me advice and laughs to get me through each week.  I get to do 3 big things this summer that give me an outlet-thanks to my husband who volunteered to step up so I could do them.   I've got a church calling that I like more than if I had hand picked it.  And I have a REALLY small business that I channel my creativity into.
There are tons of great things I'm leaving out but I'll save those for another time.  Trying to stay positive is difficult sometimes, but who could stay down for long with all these beautiful things staring them in the face?
