blessings

It is so much easier to count blessings than it is to fret over things that are out of my control.  

I could yell at my toddler for making this mess... or I could laugh and see his eyes light up when he realizes he's not in trouble.

My biggest blessing that I take for granted and do not treat with the love that I should, is my dear husband.  He does so much for me and our sons, especially when I'm pregnant.  The least I can do, as we discussed in Bible study last week, is instead of nagging him, praying for him.  We are taking a mini babymoon to a local hotel/resort next weekend, and I am looking forward to spending time with him - no work, no toddler, no interruptions.  

Daily I try to be thankful for at least one small thing, whether it's my son being adorable, flowers on a walk, or a beautiful photo on Instagram.  

Have a good weekend and count your blessings every day.

Nearly one year later...

In the past year:
We completed the remodeling,
are expecting our second baby, another boy!
I have stopped taking anti depressants
Joined Bible Study Fellowship and have really been strengthening my relationship with Christ
Joined teams at work that have improved my skills and helped me take care of really critical patients

I'm wanting to restart this blog with a goal of a weekly posting. Only 12 more weeks until the baby joins us and makes us a family of four, so we'll see how this goes.
