Blessings

  Why is it that we always focus on the bad things that happen to us instead of the blessings? Maybe it's because when terrible things happen they leave such an impression that it's hard for you to get over it. Maybe you think that it's so rare that good things happen to you that it's just hard to remember them. So yesterday was a very negative day for me so I decided to focus on some of the blessings I have in my life instead of the bad things. I know, i've been through a lot, I've lost a sibling, friends have come and gone, I've made some really bad decisions and just done some really stupid things but all the blessings that I have definitely outweigh that bad things. I have a great family who loves me no matter what even though I can be a bit tempermental and well, just flat out crazy.  I have an amzing husband and 2 perfectly healthy kids. Lamar is just a great husband and dad and Peyton and Lauren just adore him. Peyton is just like my brother Wendall, so it's kind of like a double blessing, he's a healthy, energetic little boy who LOVES baseball and loves to make people laugh. Lauren has such a tender heart and she's the sweetest thing ever who loves to sing, and that's putting it mildly. I have amazing friends who have been there to support me through some of the most difficult times in my life. They've been there through all the tears, laughter, fits of anger, and all my other emotions ;) These friends have no idea how much they mean to me and I just want to say that I love you all very much and I'm so blessed to have you guys in my life.
