Gratitude Journal #31

The last post for the month and I am taking the cop out! I am so grateful that I have so much to be grateful for. At times its easy to take your eyes off the prize and let depression take you over. It's so important to know that there is SOOOO much out there that is wonderful and worthy of praise and gratitude to my God for providing my life with so much blessing and love! AMEN!

Gratitude Journal #30


Trick or Treat! I am grateful today that my kids have a great neighborhood to trick or treat! I have the cutest little Power Ranger and Smurf EVER!

Gratitude Journal #29

I thought I was going to have a hard time looking for 31 things to be grateful for but now its the end of the month and I'm thinking of all of these things that I haven't even covered yet! What a great feeling. Today I am grateful for brothers. Not just each child but how they interact as a unit. Altogether there are SIX boys all related somehow - steps - halfs - and wholes but all brothers. Watching Joey and Jackson play, James and Joey snuggling, Jackson's other half brothers, and James and Joshua talking or playing video games is so fulfilling. I remember how special it was to spend time with my brother too!

Gratitude Journal #28


Today, on the day of my brother's birth I would be remiss if I didn't show how thankful I am that I grew up with a loving sibling (who smells like snuggles and tastes like Dr. Pepper) . I don't remember ever really "fighting" with Troy - maybe a war of wills on occasion but I think with our age gap we each had our own thing going on and we got along quite well. I see a lot of Troy and my relationship mirrored in my own children and it warms my hear that legacy is continuing. Troy is a great man and a good husband and someday soon will be a great father as well. I'm so proud of the man he has become! Love you Tazzer....you will always be my baby brother to me. Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
