Gratitude
I'm so grateful that January is more than halfway over. There are only 8 more days left in the month. January has got to be the hardest month for me. February is also hard, but it has two things that don't make it so bad. Number 1, Valentine's Day, and #2, it is the shortest month of the year. Although I have a hard time during this time of the year, I feel very blessed because last year at this time, I was pregnant and the whole month it seemed like everyone in our family was sick. Also, we were back and forth to Primary Children's hospital with I-girl for her seizures to try and figure out what we needed to do for her.
A lot has changed in a year. I feel like I would not be where I am today if I had not have gone through this past year. I feel like I am a different person than I was a year ago, which has been more positive. I feel like a better wife, mother, and a person in general. I know that our Heavenly Father knows what we need for our lives and he will put those things in our path that will form us into what we need to be.
If there is one thing I have learned to do, it is to focus on the positive things in life. Even during our darkest hours, there are many blessings that are there if we will look for them. Another thing I have learned is that there are always more than one solution to a problem. So many times when I am in situations I feel like there is no way out other than what I see. But, there is always another solution. There is more than one way.
And so today, even though I have a hard time during this time of year, and I am counting down the days left until spring comes when I can work out in the yard again, I am thankful for my health and my strength, for a wonderful husband, and three beautiful children who have taught me to enjoy the simple things in life.
