Just a reminder that there are much bigger things in the world. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by life and the people in it. I needed a reminder, someone else is at a bigger, harder time in their life. The 'problems' in my life are pretty trivial really. I am so blessed. I have an amazing husband who LOVES me. He loves who I am. I am so grateful for Gaylen. He makes me laugh. I am so grateful for his protectiveness - I love that he is so quick to sooth and rally for me when I am feeling hurt or angry. He is always willing to stand by me. I am so blessed.
I have three amazing kids. The most surprising is....they think I am pretty ok too. I am so grateful for them. I am grateful for their off hand comments that are so sweet and sincere. I love them so much. Patrick is always so quick to say "I love you Mom" and give me a hug. I don't know - will he continue wanting to hug me as he becomes older? Wyatt is so kind. He always tells me I look pretty. He thanks me for lunch as if I had spent hours cooking sloppy joes and potato wedges! I tell Brenna 'you are a good girl' and she always responds with 'you are a good Mom'. If I say I love you - she says 'I love you more'. They are my joy.
