I'm Thankful For...{day 4}

Today I am thankful for my grandparents.  I am thankful that they are around to see my children.  To see their Great-grandchildren.  To teach us and them what they have learned in their lives.  I am thankful that I could stay with my grandparents and visit with them.  I am grateful that my grandma is doing better health wise. That she is able to get around and be active. Pin It

I'm Thankful For...{day 3}

Today I am thankful for an expanding family.  I am thankful to be a Mother-in-Law.  To have a Son-in-Law.  To have a daughter who has found someone whom she loves.  It was such a great day.  (Today I am grateful that there was no snow on the ground.)  I am thankful for all the family who helped get things put together.  for those who came, and those who were there in spirit.  For their support.  For their love.

I'm Thankful For...{day 2}

Today I am thankful for a vehicle that works well enough to get us 1000 miles.  A vehicle that will fit our whole family.  When we brought the Little Misses home, we didn't have room for them.  We took a trip for Thanksgiving, and had to take 2 vehicles. 
Today we are on our way to Arizona to the wedding of Gorgeous Graduate, soon to be a Mrs. Pin It

Today I'm thankful that my mom taught me how to sew.  I made 5 Halloween costumes last month.  Today I am finishing up 4 flower girl dresses.

Down in the Dumps

    Today I am in quite the mood.
    I haven't felt this way for so so long. 
    I do suffer from depression, but medication has helped me keep it at bay for the past one and a half years.
    So why is it that today I can feel so awful?
    I know it is the adversary.  But why can't I shake it.  I  know I'm loved and of worth.  I know I'm watched over from on high.  Why can I not shake this? 
    I know we all have trials.  We have several right now that I won't go into right now.  That usually doesn't have this profound of an effect on me. 
    After feeling this way yesterday, I decided that I would get busy.  I got  up and read scriptures, went running, cleaned the kitchen, and had a dentist appointment.  I just finished resizing a pattern for Little Miss E.  My husband loves me and is oh so kind and helpful.  I have an amazing family. 
    So what is the deal? 
I am going to keep on keeping on.  I just thought that I  would try sharing this and see if getting it out there helps me at all. 
    Love you all, and enjoy the rest of your Monday.
    Speaking of Monday, for Family Home Evening, we are watching Bill Nye teach us about fire safety.  It's gonna be great.  Then we will go over where to meet in case of a fire, and what to do.

    Treats?  I think just the chocolate cookies we started yesterday and never baked.  Maybe add some ice cream.  Pin It
