reminder to me

It has been a week.  Technically there is still one day to go.  I was reminded by two of my fellow bloggers to focus on what is good in my life.

  • I live in a great house.  
  • my children are healthy and have the energy and fortitude to push back.
  • I have been married almost 18 years (Sunday is our anniversary) 
  • I do not go to bed hungry nor do any of my family
  • I have good friends - here and there
  • I have a job 
  • my eyes can see beauty and my ears can hear music
  • I live in a beautiful province despite my complaints about the rain
Life is a crazy thing.  The struggle for the even keel can be terrifying.  I know that just when I get comfortable there will be a shake down.  I KNOW this and yet every SINGLE time it happens I am caught off guard.  I am a slow learner.  I am grateful for the journey.  I AM.

Happy Anniversary...

It's hard, sometimes, to remember how wonderful things are. We worry about children and money and the world but here we sit with so many gifts.
I lose sight of it frequently.

Keep at it...it's all about the day to day. Enjoy those moments when things are good....it's little insights that things will be okay...

It's Sunday here so it's your anniversary already :) Happy anniversary.

I've had a shitty couple of weeks. I need to do the grateful list to put it all into perspective.

PS. Your photos are more gorgeous by the day!

You have made a good testimony, very encouraging. Sounds like you also have the energy to push back, against despondency.
Happy Anniversary!
