The Softer Side

Today I sit here thinking how blessed I am to be one of those people who can be positive about bad things. I know that may sound weird, but I can't help but think of where I would be if I let the negative part of me run my life.
I am so grateful to my husband for helping me be a more positive thinker. I am not saying I don't have my days, becasue I do. But life is hard as it is, why make it harder.
I am so grateful for the lessons that I have had to learn, I am grateful for how close my little family is. I am grateful that I have a great relationship with all my kids. That I trust them and that they want to share everything with me. Some of you say right, but we do. I have built the relationship with my kids that I always wanted with my parents. My kids and husband are my life. They come first.
I am grateful that I believe in the church and it's teachings. I don't know where I would be today if I hadn't stayed in the church. I love the fact that it teaches repentance and forgivness. It teaches us to Love our neighbors( that is hard), but how easy your life is when you do it.
I am grateful for great friends who help me as well. I love all of you.
