thankful

Today I am discouraged.  So is Joe.  Life is hard and we feel attacked on many fronts.

BUT
 instead of focusing on that I'm going to focus on thankfulness.

So here is a short list of things(both serious and silly) I'm thankful for!

• A Heavenly Father who really does provide all my needs
• That my husband has a job
• That my husband supports and encourages me to stay home and raise our children
• My wonderful husband and how he continues to pursue relationship with me, even when it's hard
• My boy(s).  Life is so different and wonderful with you
• My family.  Near or far we support, encourage and love each other
• My friends.  You are family.
• That my son only wakes up once a night (pending teething and sickness)
• Facebook and Pinterest
• Creativity and Crafts
• Ice cream
• Sunlight
• A very healthy pregnancy

There is, of course, so many other things I could put down.  But that's a good little list for now.
