wow what has gotten into me?

wow! I am feeling oddly sentimental today. It has to be because with my normal blog surfing I have come upon some very inspirational blogs. Those who have lost little children to illness or accidents, miscarriages, etc. I think of those people that are going through these trials and am in awe. They are amazing. My heart aches for them, for I cannot think of anything worse than that. These people find hope and comfort in these trials and stand strong with faith in their hearts. It makes me think about mine own life. Would I be able to do it? I think about my own mother losing one of her precious children to a heart defect and how hard that must have been. She is amazing, I never give her enough credit. I truly am grateful for all that I have. My beautiful children, strong and capable husband, amazing and supportive family. Lately I have felt weighed down by the normal "stuff in life. You know finances, potty training, etc. Letting the world and all the crazy stuff in it get to me and thus not treating those around me--especially my husband, as he seems to be the one that I usually take stuff out on--with the love and respect that I should. I love these moments--a reality check ,if you will, from the lord. A realization of my blessings-all of them- well not all of them because as human being I will never begin to understand all that the lord has blessed me with. But I need and feel blessed to have these moments to take a step back and gain a new perspective.
On a different note I will be better about blogging and updating all the crazy things that have happened lately. Still trying to find my memory card to my camera, brighton truly is the best at hiding things sometimes. Oh and bookclub ladies--you know who you are-- I have started reading my book-A girl named zippy. You better get going because this book is so funny skimming over it will not do it enough justice!
