Well, it's been about 1 1/2 years since I last posted. I had actually forgotten about the blog, forgotten how I used to write my thoughts here to get them out of my head. I'm so happy to have this written history of my life. It's so nice to be able to take yourself back in time. As dark as a time it may have been for me, it's a great reminder to myself to be happy for today! Nobody knows what tomorrow brings.
I had a conversation with a friend yesterday that is a common conversation that I have at least weekly with someone I know. My friend was telling me of a family member of hers that had just passed away from cancer. She left behind a husband and five children. My friend told me that I should be grateful. To this, I told her with conviction that not a day, not an hour goes by that I don't feel a sense of gratitude! I feel blessed that I was dealt a treatable form of the disease. I feel blessed for the clarity that was brought into my life.
My perspective on this is what I want to document for myself at this time. I hope to capture the small things and the big things that make my life so great and full!
TODAY - I am grateful for the reports I get from my kids when we get home from church on Sundays. I appreciate and love the teachers who teach my children the gospel.
