So blessed.

There are things about my life that I can complain about and wish were different. But, when I take the time to look around me, I realize how truly blessed I really am. I have a job that depends on me and helps me grow. I am challenged and hardly ever bored. I am married to the most wonderful man in the world. He gets me and we are learning how to trust in each other and our relationship is reaping the benefit. My children, wow, my children. I am so lucky. I've had the opportunity to have my two nieces and my nephew down. Man, I never realized how much I missed the kids until they got here. They are such a blessing. I can see my sister in them, as well as my brother in law. They have brought joy to my life that I never knew I was missing. Life is good. I have more than I ever thought possible and it's real. It's not a fantasy that I've created, this is real life. It's good. When the doubts start to circle in my head, it's become so that all I have to do is look around and see that I've built a wonderful life and have faith that no one can take that away. I'm just blown away at how wonderful my life is and how many people truly care about me. I've learned to be the friend to others that I want to be and I'm learning how to be a better wife and mother. I don't look at life with my head bowed anymore, hoping for some sort of recognition. I do what I do and it's working out pretty well.
