The Gifts of Happiness

So sorry that it has been a little over a month since my last post! EEEK! Spring has been busy, busy, busy. My work is going well and is truly a place I enjoy being. It has helped to balance out my scales of happiness. Yes, they have been a bit wobbly the last 7 months or so, swinging to and fro, but things are leveling out. For this, I am so thankful.

The last few days, I have been trying to be audibly grateful for all the blessings in my life. Both to my Father who gives them and people that have been helpful or made a difference. This alone has helped to remind me that no matter what muck I may think I am going through, that there are blessings and gifts all around me. My children have been particularly adorable and remind me of these blessings frequently. Check out these pictures of Bear & Bug melting my heart:

Note to self:
  1. You are blessed with wonderful family
  2. You are blessed with wonderful friends
  3. You are blessed! 
  4. You are loved by THE heavenly Father
  5. Get over yourself. :D 
Fear, uncertainty and change all play on our minds and hearts. These things have a way of wriggling themselves into everything you do, all day. Let them go, TRUST God and walk on faith.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." --Jeremiah 29:11
