Counting the Blessings

It has been a while since I last posted. but that does not mean that life has been less interesting. I am further understanding that life is to the least an interesting journey. Recognizing and living through the rough spots are just tests. Faith, endurance and strength are the key to survival. I am truly blessed, not just in a biblical way but in a human way. I know why my husband is in my life, and I know why a have mothered each and every one of my children. They all have given and contributed to who I am and who I am becoming as a human being. The friends that I have "claimed" and have "claimed" me have played more than an important role in my development and growth. There are even those that have crossed my path maybe without even knowing their names, that even for a split second have been a significant part of my being. - I am truly at this moment reflecting in my mind of the reasons these occurrences have happened, it is a universal blessing. I know that even though today is a "good day" that tomorrow may bring more and difficult challenges, but even for those I am grateful because I know of its meaning. Even before I complain and cry that things are not "fairytale" and going my way I will step back and ask - What is the meaning? What am I supposed to be learning from this? How will this hurtful, painful, experience bring me to yet the next level? Life is beautiful in its wonder - I think I am realizing that for the first time. I hope with faith that I can remember this moment and feeling of strength and understanding in my most weakest of moments. And I wish you find your happy place when you need it too! Lovewillsavetheday
