Reflections

Well, I was really thinking about what I was going to write in my new post.....do I talk about my father-in-laws fall ( he fell and hit his head because of a tumor and is in the hospital) or do I think of something witty to write, like comparing my life to a circus, or do I ramble like I did in my 1st two posts? After much thought and reflection (hence the title of this post) I decided that I needed a pick-me-up so I am reflecting on my life and I will try to practice what I preach here it goes:


I am thinking about the exact moment I am in and what I have in my life (other than a TON of bills and a LOT of stress)

1. A wonderful husband who loves me for who I am and who understands me even when I don't.
2. Two healthy adorable children who press me beyond my limits several times a day but who I can't wait to come home and kiss every night.
3. We have a house, though it may not be galmerous or all that roomy, or have a dishwasher, or more than one bathroom (OK how do I make this a positive?)....it does have a beautiful big back yard, and a playroom for the kids and it is a house and not a condo or apartment and the small space forces us to spend quaility time together. (There I did it... I ended positively)
4. I have career for once in my life and not just a job, and I am feeling more professionally satisfied.
5. I have more bills than I can pay but I have a great husband and two fab kids (I know I said that already but I need to cancel out the stress of the bills somehow)
6. I have a wonderful best friend who is like a sister to me. We can talk about everything, and we can relate to each others lives.
7. I have a sister who is a wonderful listener and who knows all the most deepest darkest secrets of my childhood and the wonderful childhood memories.
8. I have two parents who I love though they try my patience sometimes, though I am sure it is just payback from when I was a kid.
9. Somewhere out there somebodies life is worse than mine.
10. Things can change in a blink of an eye soI need to reflect upon and cherish a moment at a time.
11. When I am feeling a little overwhelmed I will make a list and focus on the things I have not the things I don't have.....like a bigger house or more money......even people who have those things are just as stressed as me....only over something different.

There I feel a little better.........sometimes life is just hard and as mush as I try not to be stressed I just sneaks up on me.
