I've been a little down this month. I am working through a few difficult challenges in my life right now.
I feel like I have been living my life in the future a little too much lately. I have spent so much time planning for when my life is out of this stage that I haven't been enjoying the here & now. I need to enjoy the moment a little more.
I have decided to look on the bright side and share my happy thoughts. There are so many things in my life that I have to be grateful for.
- an amazing, hard working husband who loves me for who I am
- 2 beautiful healthy, happy children
- a strong healthy body
- great family relationships
- a home to live in
- always having more than enough to meet my needs
- the beauty of nature all around me
- a Heavenly Father who loves me
It's o.k. that I don't own a home yet, that I don't have another baby, that I have a 20-year-old car that smokes when I drive it. I have all those things above & they make me so happy!
Find your happy thoughts. It feels good.

I know how you feel! We all go through those "life will be better when..." phases. It is hard to enjoy the now when you are so waiting for the future to happen. Hopefully the new car comes sooner than later :)
I remember when I lived in a 1 bedroom apt in downtown SLC with a 1 year old (Max). I couldn't wait to get out of that stage..it's all I thought about. It's all I planned for. Now I look back at those times..they were pure heaven. Always treasure where you are ( I know it's hard) it all goes by so fast.
I don't know if it will make you feel any better, i wish I owned my own home too, but I don't. You are a strong woman, I know that you will be able to see the good through it all!
You're awesome-and don't ever think otherwise. The grass always looks greener..., but it usually isn't.
You always seem so positive every time I see you when I'm dropping Charlie off at preschool and I really admire that.
Oh ya, and I'm still reading you're blog. I feel like I have to tell you or it's just an invasion of privacy. :)
