Blessings

I am so blessed.

I have a wonderful husband who loves me and whom I love so much.  I can't believe how lucky I was to find such a great man who takes such good care of me.

I have two sons who I am so proud of and love.  For 10 years while I was single, I devoted everything to them and we were our own little team.  We formed a bond, just the three of us, and I am so grateful for all those years that it was just "us".  I wouldn't trade all those "difficult" years for anything in the world.

We have our own business.  Yes, it's a lot of headaches, struggles and stress.  But we are our own bosses and we are working hard to make a better life for ourselves.  Not only that.....how awesome is it to have the "love of your life" be your partner?

I have a mother and a father who worked hard to raise me right.  I didn't always agree with their rules and regulations......but look at where I am today.  They raised me to be a confident, hardworking, and responsible person that is able to raise my own family and take care of my own life.

I have a sister......who is crazy as can be.  We won't see each other for a year....but when we connect it's warm, it's comfortable and it's hilarious.  She's my main confidant and the one person that I can bitch, gripe, and laugh with (and sometimes fight with) but still can set me emotionally on the right track.

I have wonderful neighbors and friends.  It's nice to have people to go to when you need something and in return be there for them when they need me.

Yes life is difficult.  Yes life is stressful.  But when I look at all the blessings in my life......I am humbled.

So to those of you reading this......just know that the words aren't spoken much, but they are in my heart.

I love all of you!

I really miss this

If you've been wondering where I've been......I've been wondering that too.

Actually, when life is so busy and every day is consumed with things that need to get done......the "extra" things that you enjoy doing sometimes get tossed aside.  Blogging is one of them.

I know....I know.....every one has busy lives.  So I shall not bore you with the details of all the things I need to do.  Just know....that once I find a moment to catch my breath -- I have LOTS of pictures to post of some of the things that have been going on since we last met.

However, today is not the day for that.  I've got to go make 4 batches of fudge!

I shall return............................

I am able!

According to My Daily Word booklet for Tuesday, December 4th, 2012......"I am able!"

"It is up to me to remind myself of this daily.  To use my abilities as best as I know.  As I learn and grow, I discover new strengths, new abilities, and new avenues of expression." 

"In every new challenge, I confidently affirm:  I am able."

You know what......I AM ABLE!

Able to tackle everything that needs to get done today.  Able to run a business, my house, my husband, and my family successfully.

Think about those words......because.....YOU are able too!
